This book delves into the intricate world of proteins, their composition, and their impact on biological processes. It explores the distinction between plant and animal protein metabolism, highlighting the synthesizing capabilities of the plant world and the analytical nature of the animal kingdom. The author emphasizes the complexity of protein molecules, even in seemingly simple organisms like bacteria, and challenges the notion of bacteria as primitive life forms. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the study of bacterial proteins, including their chemical structure and poisonous effects. The author introduces the concept of "protein poison," a toxic component found within protein molecules, and its role in infections and immune responses. The discussion extends to the autolytic cleavage of proteins and the differences between enzymatic actions in digestion and within the body's cells. By examining the intricacies of protein chemistry and their effects on living organisms, this book offers valuable insights into the fundamental building blocks of life and their impact on health and disease. The author's research sheds light on the complex interplay between proteins and the human body, providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying infection and immunity.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Poisonous Proteins: The Herter Lectures for 1916 Given in the University and Bellevue Medical School, New York

As stated on the title paggthis little book is made up Of the Herter Lectures given in 1916 at the University and Bellevue Medical School, New York. These lectures were published in the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medi cine. There has been some demand for re prints, Of Which none were made. I have, there fore, gladly acceded to the request of the pub lishers, The C. V. Mosby Company, Who have Offered to present them in the present form. The researches upon Which they are founded have Occupied much Of my time for many years, and have given me a concept of the nature of infection, quite different from that usually taught.

Hoping that, in this form, my studies may be helpful to my fellow-workers in the profession.
