Abstract

IN view of the dynamic equilibrium condition of proteins in all living systems and the well-documented changes in the metabolism of nitrogen compounds during embryogenesis of insect eggs1–3, it seems reasonable to expect that subtle qualitative changes in protein metabolism which occur during embryogenesis would be indicated by changes in the activity of proteolytic enzymes. Protease activity in insect eggs has not been reported despite considerable interest in other enzymes of insect eggs4.
