Miescher discovered nucleoprotein ("nuclein"), the primary constituent of the cell nucleus. In 1869 he was able to isolate a form of nuclein from salmon spermatozoa, and to find an acid fraction, or saltlike union between its two major components. This acid fraction has since been demonstrated to be the hereditary genetic material, DNA. Norman 1510. -- STRASBURGER, Eduard Adolf (1844-1912). Zellbildung und Zelltheilung .
