Chromosomally directed protein synthesis

Abstract

The different kinds of specialized cells of a higher organism differ among themselves in the kinds of enzymes and other proteins which they contain. Nonetheless, each possesses in the chromosomes of its nucleus the complete genomal DNA containing information concerning the manufacture of all of the kinds of enzymes contained in all of the kinds of cells of that creature. It is clear, therefore, that there is in the nucleus some mechanism for the control of genetic activity, a mechanism responsible for that orderly repression and derepression of gene activity which makes possible development. The present work concerns the control of genetic activity.
