Abstract
During the maturation of the oocytes of the frog Xenopus laevis, the rate of protein synthesis shows a twofold increase. Studies of the mechanisms involved in this stimulation have been seriously limited by the lack of an active cell-free translation system. We have now prepared such systems from oo …
