Biography

Shen Shanjion, male, Han nationality, is a native of Wujiang, Jiangsu Province. He graduated from Kunming Southwest United University and received his doctorate from California Polytechnic Institute.

Early in his career, Shen engaged in research on antibiotics and microorganism biochemistry. He discovered that when aureomycin is decomposing hexose, the movement of the pentose cycle is related to the synthesis of anreomycin, thus the output of aureomycin is increased. In studying the biological synthetic process of streptomycin, he proved the role of the ornithine cycle and that arginine is the source of guanidyl in molecular chain carbamidine parts of streptomycin.

Shen also found that the transamidine reaction between such arginine and chain carbamidine is controlled by tension. In studying sugar metabolism, he also found methylglyoxal synthetic enzyme in colibacillus. He pointed out that hexose can be metabolized by the branch of lactose produced by 3
