Abstract
2-Mercapto-l-(β-4-pyridethyl) benzimidazole (MPB) inhibits the incorporation of tritiated uridine and thymidine into RNA and DNA in cell cultures. The effect is readily reversed when the compound is removed, and seems to be connected with the reversible fragmentation of the nucleoli seen when MPB is added to cell cultures.
