Conclusions
1. Calcification of hypertrophic epiphyseal cartilage in vitro is intrinsically non-enzymatic. 2. The phosphorylase and phosphaase systems in hypertrophic epiphyseal cartilage may have supplementary roles in the calcification mechanism, but they are not essential to the localized deposition of bone mineral.
