This review represents an extended version of a lecture on this subject given by the author in several German universities during June and July, 1948, while he was a member of a medical mission to Germany sponsored by the Unitarian Service Committee.
Much of the material in this review has been already presented in Volume III of Advances in Protein Chemistry (Academic Press, Inc., New York, 1947), but the present article has been revised to take account of the more recent advances in this subject.
