results that are quantitatively accurate and significant. The importance 

 of the construction of inhibition-concentration curves, both for the com- 

 plex systems and their enzyme components, has been emphasized. It is 

 hoped that more attention will be given in the future to the rates of cellular 

 inhibition and the problems of the penetration into cells, because the re- 

 liability of the interpretations depends very much on these factors. Finally, 

 it is important to remember that quantitatively expressed data obtained 

 from accurately controlled experiments, even though not allowing a com- 

 plete interpretation immediately, may later, in the light of further work, 

 be very valuable in the final understanding of the phenomena and in the 

 elaboration of comprehensive theories.
