Abstract
Attention is called to the capacity of casein to provide an alkaline environment when its medium exhibits pH 6.6. The possible significance of this property with respect to lipase action is discussed and it is suggested that any protein containing chemically unbound and sterically unhindered basic groupings may act as a lipase under suitable conditions of medium and substrate.
