Alkaline Phosphatase

There can be no doubt that alkaline phosphatase is one of the most extensively in­ vestigated of all enzymes. This has resulted from the ubiquity of its distribution, and from the ease and sensitivity with which its activity can be measured. Unfortunately, these wide-ranging but often superficial ex...
