[Solubility of adenosine in concentrated salt solutions].

The solubility of adenosine has been measured in concentrated neutral salt solutions of NaClO4 (salt-destabilizer) and Na2SO4 (salt-stabilizer) as a function of salt concentration and temperature. The thermodynamic functions of adenosine transfer from water to salt solutions have been estimated. The values of delta Ftr, delta Htr, delta Str adenosine transfer in NaClO4 solutions are negative, in Na2SO4--positive. The results are considered in connection with the mechanism of high concentrations of salt action on DNA in the water solutions.
