Abstract
The adenosine triphosphatase protein from cilia of Tetrahymena pyriformis consists of 30S and 14S fractions. The 30S fraction consists of rod-like particles, 70 to 90 angstroms in diameter, which are linear polymers of globular 14S units. The 14S units have a molecular weight of approximately 600,000. The enzymatic properties of the two fractions are similar.

The results obtained show that the filaments are structurally polarized, and in muscle are arranged so that all of them attached on one side of a given Z-line point in one direction, whilst those on the other are oppositely oriented.

Novel electron microscopical techniques have been applied to an analysis of the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus and it has been found that the present views on the size and proportions of the virus are incorrect, because the isolated rods shrink on drying for electron microscopy.

Thrombosthenin may prove not only interesting with respect to the functions of the blood platelets but also with the general importance of the elucidation of many remaining problems in the field of the contractile proteins.

Studies are described which suggest that the material of these isolated cilia is essentially homogeneous, and the material appears to contain small amounts of adenine and uracil nucleotides.

Although the distortion in shape of shadowed particles is relatively large, with standardized conditions for shadowing, it is possible to make allowance for the distortion and to obtain reasonably reliable estimates of the dimensions of spherical organic particles down to a molecular weight of about 35,000.

It is concluded that nucleic acid is not essential to the interaction of myxomyosin with ATP, and its concentrates contain less impurity, are more viscous, and are more responsive to ATP than myxomeosin prepared without the enzyme.

The aim is to define the chemical properties of the characteristic "fibrous" system of the spindles and asters of the Sea urchin eggs, which is of interest to know the chemistry of the entire region in which the mitotic operations are taking place.
