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 Biochemical Journal, 1923, Vol. 17 Reaction B. Here, as in the previous reaction, sulphuric acid both de hydrates the medium and acts on the sterol to produce the first, colourless substance, and the latter then reacts with formaldehyde to give a coloured product. This reaction is more sensitive than Reaction A because of the miscibility of the sulphuric acid with the solvent. In the case of the Salkowski reaction and Reaction A some of the colour-producing substance goes into the sulphuric acid layer. In this connection the following observations may be noted.

Excerpt from The Biochemical Journal, 1920, Vol. 14 For the study of respiratory processes of small organisms and for many other biological purposes it is essential to have methods for analysing small air bubbles. In 1907 two such methods were described by August Krogh viz. A method of microscopical gas-analysis, applicable to air-bubbles of 100 - 001 mm.3, and a method of micro-analysis for volumes between 1 and 20 mm.3.

Excerpt from The Bio-Chemical Journal, 1906, Vol. 1 The present paper consists of (1) a critical discussion of the analysis of the gases in saliva, which have been obtained by previous workers, and from which it will appear that in the opinion of the author these analyses are not seriously amiss; (2) a description of some experiments which confirm them; (3) a discussion of the light thrown by the facts cited upon the physiology of certain tissues.

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.
