Abstract
ULTRACENTRIFUGED analyses by Wildman and co-workers1,2 of cytoplasmic protein of leaf cells of a number of higher plants, extracted by mechanical disruption of cells into buffer, have revealed two major fractions: the first a homogeneous component of sedimentation constant (S 20) 16–18 Svedberg units (fraction 1) and the second a polydisperse component with mean S 20 of 3–4 units (fraction II).
