## Abstract Investigations were conducted to test the effects of α‐amanitin on RNA synthesis in preimplantation mouse embryos. Exposure of embryos in culture to 1–100 μg/ml α‐amanitin produced a dose‐ and time‐dependent suppression of total RNA synthesis as measured by incorporation of [^3^H]uridin

## Abstract Four amatoxin‐binding proteins with __K~D~__ values in the nanomolar range, 3 monoclonal antibodies and RNA polymerase II, were studied with respect to their affinities to 24 α‐amanitin derivatives with modified side chains. From __K~D~__ values we estimated the amounts of binding energ
