TL;DR: On the 150th day after cessation of administration of organic mercury, pathological change involved not only the cerebellum but also the cerebrum and the brain stem, and two changes were observed in the granule cells.
Abstract: In rats with signs of onset of organic mercury poisoning, marked changes were noted in the granule cells of the cerebellum. In the initial stage of the disease, selective damage to granule cells was characteristic probably due to disturbance in protein synthesis. Mitochondria showed only relatively mild changes even at a considerably later stage, after disappearance of intracytoplasmic organelles from the granule cells.

TL;DR: Knowledge of the genetic and metabolic regulatory systems involved in the differentiation of these cellular structures is crucial to the comprehension of the biochemistry of growth and differentiation of the cells of higher organisms.
Abstract: The cells of higher organisms contain highly differentiated bodies or organelles, each of which is delimited from the surrounding cytoplasm by an outer membrane Organelles carry out specialized cellular functions; they possess complex and unique internal structures and contain a characteristic complement of enzymes and other constitutents Clearly, knowledge of the genetic and metabolic regulatory systems involved in the differentiation of these cellular structures is crucial to our comprehension of the biochemistry of growth and differentiation of the cells of higher organisms

TL;DR: Apparently intact mitochondria from ovaries of Xenopus laevis can incorporate high molecular weight polynucleotides which then serve as templates for polypeptide synthesis on mitochondrial ribosomes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized research into the existing methods for the quantitative determination of tyrosine and tryptophane in proteins, including the Folin-Looney method, which is based on reaction of a phosphotungstic phosphomolybdic acid in a phenol solution.

TL;DR: It has been found that guanosine dior triphosphate is required in addition to ATP for amino acid incorporation in an enzyme system from rat liver which catalyzes the incorporation of labeled amino acids into proteins under anaerobic conditions.
