Greetings,
I have posted on the BioKin website (http://www.biokin.com ->
publications) an English translation of
Victor Henri (1902)
"General Theory of Action of Certain Hydrolases"
Compt. rend. hebd. Acad. Sci. Paris 135, 916-919 (1902).
I think it is particularly amusing from today's perspective that Mr.
Henri imagined the enzyme exerting its catalytic influence without a
direct physical contact with the substrate (see problem 2.2 p. 37 of
Athel Cornish-Bowden "Fundamentals..." 1979 edition).
If anyone (especially native French speakers) would care to comment on
the translation, it would be much appreciated (I depended on my
dictionary to do this).
Petr
