Abstract

In this paper we report on the mechanism of action of bonellin on sea urchin eggs. Bonellin acts in the same way as porphyrins, ie, by causing the crosslinking of membrane proteins and the peroxocompounds formation. A possible role of membrane organization related to cleavage formation is discussed.
