Abstract
SOME time ago, a water-soluble yellow-red pigment exhibiting a strong green fluorescence was found in purified catalase preparations from liver and pumpkin cotyledons1. Whereas a certain resemblance in respect to its physico-chemical behaviour with the enzyme led to the assumption of a possible intrinsic connexion between the pigment and catalase, later on it became possible to effect a separation of the two substances2. The purified pigment was then recognised as a member of the lately established class of biological pigments called lyochromes, the single representatives of which bear the ending -flavin (Ellinger3, Kuhn4 and associates).
