The Biochemical Journal 1916 Vol 10 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Biochemical Journal, 1916, Vol. 10 Perhaps the most startling of his discoveries in the domain of biochemistry was the recognition of the carbohydrate groups in the protein molecule. Dr Payy'e theory of the glucosidic nature of the proteins was received with interest throughout the scientific world, and a multiplicity of gluco-proteins have since been isolated. Later investigations have shown, however, that the carbohydrate linkage is not of a glucosidic nature so that the metabolic value assigned to these groups by Dr Pavy has not been generally accepted although no other explanation of their significance has yet been attempted.

Excerpt from The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1916, Vol. 24 In the following tables Column 2 contains the percentage of plasma, Column 3 the percentage Of blood cells, and Column 4 the relative blood volume calculated from the figures in Column 3. In view of the changes which take place in the blood volume after pancreatectomy, the percentage of sugar found at each de termination must therefore be proportionally magnified or de creased, ii we are to obtain a correct idea of the actual rate of increase in the sugar content. Column 6 therefore represents the percentage of sugar which would have been found had the blood volume remained as it was before the experiment. This gives us a new and surprising insight into the actual increase in the amount of sugar in the circulating blood.

Excerpt from The Biochemical Journal, Vol. 12: 1918 Harold Ackroyd was the son of Mr Edward Ackroyd, for many years chairman of the Southport and Cheshire Lines Extension Railway. His schools were Mintholme College, Southport, and Shrewsbury. He joined Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and took his B.A. in 1899. In the following year he attended the lectures and practical classes as then arranged for physiology in Part II of the Natural Sciences Tripos, though, from the first, he had no intention of entering for the examination. In the work of the chemical section I remember how good for his teacher was the critical attitude he displayed towards the methods used in the practical classes. His were criticisms not verbally expressed but set down in his note book in the form of figures. While others were for the most part content to employ a method "as directed" Ackroyd was apt to test first the limits of its accuracy. Then, as later, and always, he was impatient of compromise, and had no use for the second best, in laboratory methods or anything else; but once at work he spared himself no pains to reach the highest grade of accuracy possible under the circumstances. He went to Guy's Hospital for his clinical training and took his medical degrees in due course. Later lie was House-Surgeon at Queens Hospital, Birmingham, and then worked for a time at the David Lewis Northern Hospital, Liverpool. He possessed ample private means and never attempted ordinary medical practice. He hesitated a good deal before deciding to devote himself entirely to scientific research though so well qualified to do it. He was fond of travel and had a passion for the sea. While undecided about his career he indulged these tastes freely, going for long voyages in slow boats and exploring Europe pretty thoroughly. After his marriage he decided to settle down to biochemical research at Cambridge. He went therefore to reside at Royston, and attached himself, first to the Department of Pharmacology, and afterwards to the School of Agriculture where he accepted a post in the newly founded Institute for the study of Animal Nutrition.

Excerpt from The Biochemical Journal, 1913, Vol. 7: Edited for the Biochemical Society The whole question of the course of the breakdown of the protein molecule within the tissues is one of the most obscure in physiology. We have now a fairly good idea of the form in which the protein is absorbed from the lumen of the intestine but its immediate fate is still unknown. Apparently however definite evidence is now collecting [Folin, 1912] in support of the view that no immediate synthesis, analogous to that of fat, takes place. Unquestionably, irrespective of the form in which the protein material is conveyed to the tissues, there is, soon after the ingestion of food, a fairly complete disintegration of the protein molecule as evidenced by the increase in the output of nitrogenous substances in the urine. Of course it might be maintained, as it has been, that this material arises not from the newly ingested material but from "effete" protoplasm broken down and discarded when a new supply of repair material is available. If this be so then the material excreted ought to bear some definite percentage relationship to the normal protein of the body, for example the ratio of sulphur to nitrogen in the urine should approximate to that of the average tissue as obtained say by the study of the sulphur and nitrogen ratio in complete starvation. It was thought that, by a careful study of the ratios of S: N after feeding with specially chosen foodstuffs, light might be thrown on: - (1) The rate of protein catabolism. (2) The nature of the material catabolised. Previous Work. Little work has been carried out in this field probably because of the fact that until recently the difficulty of carrying on a long series of sulphur analyses was considerable. Since the introduction of the very excellent and rapid method of S. R. Benedict this difficulty has largely disappeared.
