“Generally speaking it is found that the most carefully purified enzyme preparations give⟳ the reactions of proteins, and for a long time the view⟳ was prevalent that enzymes belonged to the class of nucleo-proteides (p. 421). It is certain, however, that many enzymes are known which are not nucleo-proteides, and some, such as the vegetable oxidases, seem to contain⟳ scarcely any nitrogen.”

“Nitrogen can be a component of proteins, proteides and non-protein nitrogen. Protein consists of only polypeptides while proteides are composed of at least one protein and another compound which is a non-protein, e.g. phospho-proteides = protein + phosphoric acid.”

“They are polypeptide, protein, or proteide-type compounds, containing only common amino acids, or in the proteide type⟳ such additional constituents as are otherwise present⟳ in natural proteins. The term “proteide” refers to the substances which contain⟳ (covalently or in any other way linked) other constituents such as lipoids, sugars, nucleic acid-type compounds, chromophores, etc.”
