Summary

In the retina of the chick embryo, 2 different forms of nucleoside phosphotransferase take part in the phosphorylation of thymidine. One is an unstable form with higher molecular weight. The other with lower m. wt is a stable form. This paper shows that N2, O2′-dibutyril cyclic GMP causes a marked decrement of the activity of the unstable nucleoside phosphotransferase.
