Abstract
Summary
Production of acid-labile phosphate by crude brewer's yeast system, in the presence of adenosine and inorganic phosphate, has been demonstrated. This acid-labile phosphate has been identified as adenosine triphosphate. The nucleoside, 6-dimethyl-aminopurine-3-amino-d-riboside inhibits adenosine triphosphate formation in this system. The possible relationship of this inhibitory action to ability of the nucleoside to produce nephrosis in rats is discussed.
