[Protein synthesis during acclimation of cold-blooded animals to various temperatures]

It was shown that the intensity of protein synthesis in cells of frogs, acclimated to 5 degrees C, is maintained at a high level, which is only 1.5-2 folds lower than that in animals acclimated to 20 C. In the process of acclimation to cold the intensity of synthesis decreases rapidly and already after 5 hours comprises one half of the value, which is characteristic of "warm" frogs, and the intensity of the process decreases more rapidly than the temperature of organs. On acclimation to warmth the intensity of protein synthesis increases and is getting stabilized at the level, characteristic of "warm" amphibia in 10-15 hours. It was shown that under various temperature conditions or conditions of acclimation specific proteins were synthesized against a background of the main groups of proteins.
