TO Dr. Dan H. Campbell
FROM Linus Pauling
SUBJECT Precipitation Reactions with Enzymes
I think that it might be possible to learn something about the properties of enzymes by coupling the molecules of an enzyme to one another with glyoxal and then adding a bifunctional reagent related to the substrate of the enzyme. Thus if urease were coupled with itself and then treated with a molecule containing two urea residues a precipitation reaction might occur, and by the study of the inhibition of this precipitation reaction by various substituted ureas information could be obtained about the nature of the combining group in the urease molecule.

- Letter from LP to Dr. Farrington Daniels RE: Sends his opinions on Jen-Yuan Chien for a research position at the University of Wisconsin. [Letter from Daniels to LP February 17, 1944] [Filed under LP Correspondence Box: #89.4, file:(Daniels, Farrington, 1937, 1939, 1944, 1952, 1966)]
- Letter from LP to Dr. J. D. Newburgh. RE: Interested in his calculations on the effect of hapten. Thinks he is right, but it will be hard to verify it experimentally. Discusses his latest experiments. Pleased to read his paper on the work of the kidney. Would like a reprint.
