Each of the seven papers in this symposium is a well-rounded view of important aspects of protein metabolism which are now under investigation. Among the more important subjects discussed are the relations of vitamin B₆, riboflavin, and vitamin B₁₂ to protein metabolism; the role of vitamins in antibody production as a measure of protein synthesis; the effects of growth hormone on protein metabolism; the amino acid requirements of man, and the use of amino acids and proteins in therapy.
