## Abstract A route to mevinolin () bearing (S)β2βmethylbutanoic acid β1β^14^C as the ester side chain has been developed. The structure of mevinolin () was degraded and selectively protected to provide the alcohol in three steps. Incorporation of ^14^C was accomplished by acylation of alcohol with

β¦ Synopsis
Giant squid axons were microinjected with serine, valine and leucine-C14 under controlled electrophysiological conditions. These amino acids are incorporated into TCA insoluble fraction in the isolated axon.
This incorporation is higher in the stimulated axons as compared to non-stimulated ones. By processing separately the axoplasm and axon sheath, it was found that the last one is responsible almost entirely for the observed incorporation.
Through differential centrifugation of homogenates of microinjected axons was shown that the highest incorporation occurred in the 1500 x g sediment, which probably corresponds to membranes. The incorporation of amino acids in stimulated axons, is strongly inhibited by chloramphenicol and actinomycin D.

Mitochondria isolated from mouse liver can incorporate amino acids into mitochondrial protein. Studies with oligomycin and antihistamine drugs indicate that this incorporation may not be an ATP requiring process. Several laboratories '55; Truman and Korner, '62; Bronk, '63; Kalf, '63) have reported
