description

The ATPase activity is inhibited by Colchicin in concentrations of 10−3 m and 10−4 m at a rate of 40 to 20 %, but in no way in the range of 10−7 m and 10−8 m, where Colchicin exerts its typical spindle-blocking action on the mitotic cell division. It is therefore no evidence, that Colchicin acts by influence on the energy yielding ATP-ATPase system, which was proposed to be responsible for the spindle contraction.
