Abstract
IT is generally assumed, after Caspersson1, that the nucleus is the main centre of protein synthesis in the cell. However, this opinion is based on cytochemical and biological observations only (for example, the incapacity for sustained regeneration in many unicellular organisms), and it appeared desirable to test this assumption on biochemical grounds also.
