| Abstract |
The function of several of the discrete protoplasmic structures has been more completely understood where the structure itself has been isolated and studied by direct biochemical methods.' Progress toward the understanding of the chemical nature and of the function of the nucleolus has been hindered by the lack of a suitable technique for the isolation of nucleoli in quantities suitable for direct chemical study. During an attempt to analyze the role of the nucleolus in the growth stages of the oocytes of various forms, a technique for the isolation of nucleoli in quantities suitable for biochemical analyses was developed. This technique and a preliminary report of the chemical composition of the starfish nucleolus is given below. |
