We have reinvestigated the existence of cyclical fluctuations of protein synthesis and have examined the effects of reducing it in early embryos of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The results show that protein synthesis increases linearly during the first 45-60 minutes after fe

Abstract
Exposure of early sea urchin embryos to 5‐bromodeoxyuridine (at concentrations up to 100 μg per ml) severely decreases the uptake of exogenous ^3^H‐uridine into RNA. However, the actual gross rate of DNA or RNA synthesis in these embryos appears not to be affected by the presence of 5‐bromodeoxyuridine.
