Cruso-creatin in

(kru-so-kre-af-in-iri), A leucomalne, isolated from muscle-ti ue. In this and other leucomalnes of the Creatin in Group, as well as in those of the Uric Acid Group, hydrocyanic acid plays an important part in the molecular structure of the bases. Very little is yet known as to the function of this Cyanogen Group in relation to the vital activity of ti ues, but recent investigations seem to show that the seat of the cyanogen-formation lies within the nucleated cell, and is intimately connected with the functions of the nuclein-molecule. A number of leucomalnes of fresh muscle-ti ue are credited with po e ing an intensely poisonous action; and, if this be the case, any accumulation of such bases in the system, due to interference with elimination, may cause very serious disturbances.
