A QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF SOME TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON DROSOPHILA

BERTIL HILLE 1 and ROGER MILKMAN 1

1. A complex array of high temperature effects on Drosophila melanogaster pupae is described in terms of a quantitative hypothesis. A branched series of reactions, first order in the reactant, provides a unifying basis for a set of adaptational, morphogenetic, and lethal effects.

2. The temperature coefficients of some of the reactions suggest that they may be specific, serial tertiary structure changes in an otherwise undescribed protein.
