Abstract
ALTHOUGH copper is essential for the formation of normal hæmoglobin, it has not been demonstrated that this element functions directly in the synthesis of hæm. We have demonstrated an increased synthesis of hæm in vitro from glycine labelled with carbon-14, by means of adding inorganic copper to copper-deficient chicken blood.
