“…In the metabolism of amino-acids, especially arginine and histidine, Edlbacher discovered important facts (Edlbacher and Viollier, 1943 ;Edlbacher and Grauer, 1944;Edlbacher and Wiss, 1944,1,2,3;Edlbacher and Schmid, 1945;Edlbacher and Wiss, 1945, 1, 2;Edlbacher, Wiss and Walser, 1946). The formation of glycine and urea was studied by Leuthardt and Glasson (1942, 1, 2) and the oxidation of amino-acids by Karrer, Koenig and Appenzeller (1942) and Karrer and Appenzeller (1943).…”
