Abstract

The changes in average GTP and ATP content of developing Xenopus laevis embryos have been studied. Both nucleotides increase during the first cleavage stages and decrease thereafter. GTP shows a second maximum during gastrulation. The significance of these changes in relation to cellular processes like DNA-synthesis, formation of microtubules and micro-filaments, etc., is discussed.
