was definitely known about these substances,
The reason lies in their extreme compIexity and

in lecture before the German Chemical So

complete synthesis of the proteids. He has al

ing to this class.
When he first attacked the problem six years
ago it known that by treating the protejds
with acids one could, so to speak, break them
up into smaller pieces which would be easier
Of examination. Fischer first perfected a
method of separating these pieces" from each
other. Then he made artifciaIly those frag-

ties of both anime" and an acid Now
these amines have affinity for acids. and

connect the anime end of one Of the amino-acds

again has anime group end and an
acid group on the other, and therefore be
linked UP with amino-acids Thus it has
been possible for Fischer by linking up differ

the simplest proteid like bodies which he calls
poly peptides" These already resemble the
natural proteids closely that they are di-

The longest train far made has seven cars.

have in hand the -albu-ninoses."
Proteid forms necessary article of animal

for its production Some hope has been Cx-
pressed in connection with Fischer's work that
may be able to make proteid food artii-
cially I'm future If artificial proteid is to be-
come cheap enough for human consumption an
entirely different method of making it must be
discovered. Fischer's method of building it
up step by step is slow and expensive but it
shows the details in its structure. As he
himself said. quick method would probably
teach us nothing.
