The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Alexander Robertus Todd, on a paper 'The ribosenucleic acid content of isolated cell nuclei' by C M Mauritzen, A B Roy and Edgar Stedman

Reference number: RR/78/18

Date: 21 March 1952

Description

Sectional committee: Physiology

Paper reference code: B14

Recommended for publication in the Proceedings. Todd comments: 'The question whether or no ribonucleic acid occurs in cell nuclei is important and for this reason I think the paper should be published. Being largely analytical I do not think it would lend itself well to reading at a meeting. The length is not excessive although I think I would have come out a few pages less if I had written up the work myself.'

[Published in Proceedings B, 1952].
