Effect of centrifugal forces on the structuredness of cytoplasm in growing yeast cells

Biophysik volume 9, pages 105–108 (1973)Cite this article

Summary

Effects of centrifugal forces on the structuredness (average microviscosity) of cytoplasm in yeast cells were investigated. Concomitant variations in the first-order rate constants for the enzymatic hydrolysis of fluorescein diacetate were measured. Changes in the rate constants were found to be inversely related to changes in the structuredness of cytoplasm.
