Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

CCIFNCE is a step closer to understanding the
- riddle of life as result of the isolation OF one
of the chemical regulators of the living cell by Prof.
Roger J. Williams of Oregon State College.
The substance is pantothenic acid. Present re-
searches indicate that it is constituent of all llv-
ing cells whether the cells of animals, plants or
bacteria Apparently it controls the breathing proc
eSs of the cell the process by which the cell apSoroS
oxygen and produces energy
The existence of pantOthenic acid was demon
strated by Prof Williams in 1888. Beginning with
several hundred pounds of liver ne has succeeded in
extracting 20 milgTamS of practically pure panto-
thenc acid Twenty millgramS is roughly 1-l5OOth
Of an ounce.
This tiny amount. however. is enough to permit
chemical analysis by the methods of micro-anaysiS
methods in which chemical reactions. instead OF
being carried in ordinary test tubes and retortS
are carried on in apparatus of almost microscopic
caliber
Analysis to date indicate that only four elements
the four basic elements Of protoplaSn or living mat
ter-enter into the chemical composition Of pan
tothenic acid They are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen.
THE moecule of the acid Is extremely complex.
The structure of some portions Of the molecule
are now known but Prof. Williams can not yet give
complete picture of the whole moecule.
Once the chemical formula is completely known
steps viii then be taken to accomplish the syntheSlS
or artificial manufacture of the acid in the lab
oratory.
In experiments Dr. williams has found that an
infinitesimal trace of the acid affected the growth
OF young aIalla SeeOIngS SO strongly tnaV the re-
suits could be within a day or two after
sprouting.
NEAST cells deprived of pantothenc acid not
only lose their ability TO grow rapidly but also
their normal power of breathing. he says
There normally two types of respiration in
yeast cells" he says. "one in which they breathe
in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide higher
animals DO and the other in which oxygen is OBJ
tanned from the sugar of the food and both carbon
dioxide and alcohol are breathed out.
Both Of these types of respiration become very
low in yeast with an insufficient supply of pantoth
eric acid 1t IS probable that the acid plays a role
in the respiration, of all kinds of cells.
The peculiar quality which makes pantothenic
acid interesting is its ability act growth regu
lator. Tiny amounts have a remarkable stimulate
ing effect OH the growth of various types of plants
and single-cglled animals. a
