Abstract

IT is a fundamental concept in modern chemical genetics that a separate gene is responsible for each step in the enzymatic biosynthesis of a given compound. Since in vitro the precursor (or precursors) of the compound would also be able to produce substances other than that formed in the tissue, a gene, as is well known, displays a chemical steering power which is directed toward a single structural target.
