Iv. Opinions on the overall review of the paper
1. This is a carefully done study and the findings are of considerable interest. A few minor revision are list below.
2. this is a well-written paper containing interesting results which merit publication. for the benefit of the reader, however, a number of points need clarifying and certain statements require further justification. there are given below.
3. although these observation are interesting, they are rather limited and do not advance our knowledge of the subject sufficiently to warrant publication in PNAs. we suggest that the authors try submitting their findings to specialist journal such-
4. Although this paper is good, it wocould be ever better if some extra data were added.
5. This manuscript is not suitable for publication in the Journal of-because the main observation it describe was reported 3 years ago in a reputable journal -.
6. Please ask someone familiar with English language to help you rewrite this paper. As you will see, I have made some correction at the beginning of the paper where some syntax is not satisfactory.
7. we feel that this potentially interesting study has been marred by an inability to communicate the finding correctly in English and shocould like to suggest that the authors seek the advice of someone with a good knowledge of English, preferable native speaker.
8. The wording and style of some section, maid HPLC, need careful editing. Attention shocould be paid to the wording of those parts of the discussion of and summary which have been underlined.
9. Preliminary Experiments only have been done and with exception of that summarized in table 2, none has been repeated. This is clearly unsatisfactory, particle ly when there is so much variation between assays.
10. The condition of incubation are poorly defined. What is the temperature? Were antibody used?
5. Reply to the editor
1. In reply to the referee's main criticism of paper, it is possible to say that-
One minor point raised by the referee concerns of the extra composition of the reaction mixture in Figure 1. this has now been corrected. further minor changes had been made on page 3, Paragraph 1 (line 3-8) and 2 (line 6-11 ). these do not affect our interpretation of the result.
2. I have read the referee's comments very carefully and conclude that the paper has been rejected on the sole grounds that it Lake toxicity data. I admit that I did not include a toxicity table in my article although perhaps I shoshould have done. this was for the sake of brew.rather than error or omission.
3. thank you for your letter of-and for the referee's comments concerning our manuscript entitled "". we have studied their comments carefully and have made correction which we hope meet with their approval.
4. I enclosed a revised manuscript which has des A Report of additional experiments done at the referee's suggestion. You will see that our original findings are confirmed.

8. Thank you for your letter. I am very pleased to learn that our manuscript is acceptable for publication in cancer research with minor revision.
9. We have therefore completed a further series of experiments, the result of which are summarized in table 5. From this we conclude that intrinsic factor is not account.
10. We deleted the relevant passage since they are not essential to the contents of the paper.
11. I feel that the reviewer's comments concerning figures 1 and 2 result from a misinterpretation of the data.
12. We wowould have include a non-protein inhibitor in our system, as a control, if one had been available.
13. We prefer to retain the use of table 4 for reasons that it shoshould be clear from the new paragraph inserted at the end of the results section.
14. Although reviewer does not consider it is important to measure the temperature of the cells, we consider it essential.
15. The running title has been changed to "".
16. The Materials and Methods Section now has des details for measuring uptake of isotope and assaying hexokinase.
17. The concentration of HAT media (page12 paragraph 2) was incorrectly stated in the original manuscript. This has been rectified. The authors are grateful to the referees for pointing out their error.
18. As suggested by both referees, a discussion of the possibility of laser action on chromosome has been encoded ded (page16, paragraph 2 ).
19. We have ded a new set of photographs with better definition than those originally submitted and to which a scale has been added.
