## Abstract This paper presents a comparison of energy metabolism in wild type and respiration‐deficient Chinese hamster cells. From previous work (DeFrancesco et al., 75) it was concluded that the mutant satisfies essentially all of its energy requirements from glycolysis and in this study we meas

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
High pressure liquid chromatography was used to determine the base, nucleoside, and nucleotide levels in wild type and a series of respiration‐deficient Chinese hamster cell mutants. From this analysis the size of the total adenylate pool and the energy charge could be calculated for each cell line. We find a constant energy charge, as expected, but the adenylate pool seems to be considerably lower in the respiration‐deficient mutants.
