Abstract
The synthetic polynucleotides may be used as models for the effects of alkylating agents on nucleic acid. Alkylation of polyadenylic acid with methyl methanesulfonate yields a polymer methylated in the one-position of adenine. This alteration in structure produces marked changes in physical properties and decreases the capacity to code for polylysine synthesis.Entities:
