Abstract
IT is well known that the effects of radiation on the biosynthesis of ribonucleic acid and protein are reduced slightly under conditions in which the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid is inhibited almost completely1. There have been few investigations of the ribonucleic acid synthesized after irradiation.
