1. The synthesis and hydrolysis of cocarboxylase by pigeon and rat liver in several states of dispersion have been investigated.
2. Ochoa's observations, that pigeon liver slices and homogenate can synthesize cocarboxylase from thiamin aerobically and that the same tissue dephosphorylates cocarboxylase anaerobically, have been confirmed.
3. The addition of pyrophosphate with thiamin to liver tissue may result in synthesis of cocarboxylase greater than that which occurs on the addition of thiamin alone.
4. The amount of hydrolysis of cocarboxylase by liver tissue varies directly with the severity of damage to the tissue.
