T. IJALIWIIN: iochemistry Important 'o Grasp Evolution THEMICHIGANDAILY DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN _ ~ ~ ', L_ ~ . -' ____________________I . By STEVEN SHAW "Biochemistry is of tremendous import in understanding the most biological of all biological theories -the theory of evolution," Prof.. Ernest Baldwin of the University of London said yesterday. His was the second speech in a series en- titled "The Nature of Biological Diversity," sponsored by the In- stitute of Science and Technology. Prof. Baldwin pointed out that living organisms at the molecular level posess many more similarities than differences. "Take away the secondary qualities," he said, "and the fundamental ground plan that we often take for granted is ex- posed." This "common ground plan" is the starting point for all evolution. Advantageous Mutations Advantageous mutations, by far the least frequent type, must oc- cur over and over, Prof. Baldwin observed. Certain mutations, how- ever, are more probable than others. Hemoglobin, cited as an example, is an extremely benefi- cial adaptation which is found in many different forms of life. With this substance, entirely new en- vironmental possibilities were thrown open for life. However;, the crucial problem discussed by the British bio- chemist was the problem of nitro- gen excretion in various animals. This, he noted, is a primary ex- ample of how biological changes enable the expansion into and occupation of new environments. In order. for an organism to emerge from the water, it must solve the essential problem of am- monia excretion. This has been ac- complished in diverse ways-with most lakid animals, by transform- ing dangerous ammnonia into non- toxic urea. x low 4 hanged? For Prof. Baldwin, who has done considerable research on elasmo- branch fishes, the basic question is still to be answered--"how is the fundamental biochemistry chang- ed in the course of evolution?" In his work Prof. Baldwin has come to an impasse. The mechan- PROF. ERNEST BALDWIN .. .on biochemistry ism for producing one of the fund- amental chemicals in urea synthe-. sis-the exact manner in which this chemical is formed-is still unknown. Engaging in what he termed "mild speculation," Prof. Baldwin presented two possibilities. "Either, our understanding of urea syn- thesis in other organisms is in- correct or different groups of or- ganisms produce this basic pro- duct in several different ways. Although Prof. Baldwin readily, admitted that he was: at a loss for a satisfactory explanation, he noted with some satisfaction that so were his colleagues. To Discuss AMA At PIC FMeeting, Prof. Daniel A. Fusfeld of the economics department and Dr. S. Kleinman, a member of the Amer- ican Medical Association will dis- cuss "The American Medical As- sociation and Health Legislation" at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3C of the Michigan Union.
