8 NITROGEN METABOLISM 



Space available, the subject-matter of the chapter is con- 

 fined to a few selected topics. 



In the concluding chapter the mode of action of chemo- 

 therapeutic agents is considered in terms of their observed 

 effects on the metabolism of compounds containing nitrogen.
