Abstract
An exposition is presented of the chemical synthesis of carbamyl phosphate (CAP) from cyanate and phosphate, and its decomposition, and the biochemical synthesis going by way of a carbamate phosphokinase transferring the terminal phosphate of ATP to carbamate. Evidence is presented to indicate that CAP is the intermediary in the car-bamylization of ornithine and aspartic acid in animal tissue as well as in microbial systems.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
