Under those conditions, a large part of the azaguanine that had been incorporated into RNA is rejected and found in the medium mostly as azaguanosine (Matthews and Smith, 1956; Smith and Matthews, 1957; Mandel, 1957; Mandel and Markham, 1958).

Restoration by guanosine of the synthesis of protein material (a) and of constitutive penicillinase (b), in B. cereiis after azaguanine inhibition. The numbers at the end of the curves indicate the time in minutes elapsed between the additions of azaguanine and of guanosine (Chantrenne and Devreux, 1960). more sluggish when the period of azaguanine inhibition increases. An unexpected feature of the recovery of protein synthesis under the action of guanosine is that the synthesis of an enzyme like constitutive penicillinase is not restored at the same time as net synthesis of the average protein material. This is illustrated in Fig. 22. For instance, when guanosine is added 45 min after the analogue, the synthesis of protein is rapidly restored, whereas penicillinase formation is not yet restored 2 hrs. later (Chan- trenne, 1959; Chantrenne and Devreux, 1960). There is evidence that.
