  • (19) Racker argues that fraud committed by talented professional scientists springs from an unbalanced mind, that each case must be handled individually and pursued in the courts if the evidence warrants it, and that Congress must be persuaded that the research community can and will assume responsibility for the detection and punishment of scientific misconduct.
  • (20) As compared with the enzyme isolated by well known Lien and Racker method, the enzyme preparation obtained is slightly activated by heating, is not activated by trypsin and has a lesser ability to recover ATP synthesis in EDTA-treated chloroplasts.

Ranker
