Abstract
The method of Miescher is used in extraction of nuclear protoplasm from calf liver cells. The preparation upon analysis contained 13.08% N and 2.72% P. The ratio of P:N is 1:4.81. This is in approximate agreement with the findings of others. Such a P content, it is calculated, corresponds to a 31.55% nucleic acid with formula C43H59N15O33P4. The calculated % of N in the remaining portion of nuclear protein leads the author to conclude that protein components of the liver nucleus do not belong to the basic proteins like protamine or histone.
