The degree of organization of polyribonucleotides determines their modalities of reaction with antibodies (NG-I) which are present in serums of animals hyperimmunized with ribosomes. The immunochemical behavior of the highly helical two-stranded complex of polyadenylic acid and polyuridylic acid and the corresponding three-stranded complex of one molecule of polyadenylic acid and two molecules of polyuridylic acid can be determined from examination of the associatinge and nonassociating mixtures of polyadenylic and polyuridylic acids. The immunochemical characteristics of various forms of polyinosinic acid in solution are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
