The anomolous protein synthesis, sensitive to cycloheximide, which has been observed in brain mitochondrial and synaptosomal preparations, has been studied. It is concluded that this protein synthesis is due to the presence, as a contaminant in both preparations, of a ribosome‐containing particle which contains soluble enzymes and is limited by a plasma membrane.
