Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4740668
The distribution of thymidylate and uridylate phosphatases, acid desoxyribonuclease, and BETA -galactosidase was determined in subcellular fractions of spleen from irradiated and control rats. Fundamental studies on desoxynucleotide metabolism in rat liver were continued. A hypothesis is presented concerning patterns of desoxyribonucleotide metabolism in tumors in relation to rate of cell proliferation. Experiments were continued on the effects of catalase inhibition on normal and irradiated Tetrahymena. Preliminary data are presented. (C.H.)
