Abstract
Some conditions for the successful extraction of labile phosphorus compounds from frozen housefly tissue have been investigated. Evidence has been presented for the existence in insect tissues of a non-phosphorylated substance which interfered with the estimation of ATP by two widely used assay systems.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
