names and reactions and a key to relevant references. This is followed by the list of references cited (2743 in all), an index to the enzyme list, relating both recommended and systematic names to the corresponding enzyme number, and a subject index. The layout throughout is logical and straightforward and makes the tracing of individual enzymes a relatively simple task. These recommendations have gone a long way towards clearing the confusion that has existed in this field and towards ensuring that new enzymes are introduced and identified without ambiguity. They should prove of considerable value not only to enzymologists per se but to all concerned indirectly with enzyme reactions.
