NUCLEOTIDE METABOLISM OF GALLFRIA MELLONELLA L CATERPILLARS, NORMAL AND AFTER X-RAY IRRADIATION
ln the composition of the acid soluble fraction of bee moth caterpillars there is found adenosine triphosphate. adenylic acid, and other low molecular weight purine and pyrimidine compounds. A day after x irradiation of the caterpillars with a dose of 2000 r the total exttnction of acid soluble compounds at 260 m mu decreases by 7%. The content of ATP falls by about 36%. Autolysis of the caterpillars in orthophosphate buffer solution a day after irradiation with a dose of 2000 r increases by about 86%. A considerable fall in ATP content and activation of autolysis in the period immediately after irradiatton can be explained by the inhibitton of oxidattve phosphorylatton after irradiation. (auth)
