## Abstract **Summary:** Differential UV spectroscopy was used to study the temperature dependence of the conformational equilibrium in aqueous poly IβΒ·βpoly AβΒ·βpoly I (A2I) solutions containing Na^+^ (0.1β2 M) and Mg^2+^ (10^β5^β0.005 M) ions. Over the whole range of the studied Na^+^ and Mg^2+^

Abstract
The effect of Cu^2+^ on the stability of the tripleβstranded helical structure of poly[(riboadenylic acid): 2 poly(riboinosinic acid)] poly(A : 21) was studied by means of circular dichroism spectroscopy and ultraviolet spectroscopy. The experimental results show that Cu^2+^ induces the hyperchromicity of poly(A : 2I) and causes the melting temperature T~m~ of poly(A : 2I) to decrease with increasing Cu^2+^ concentration. At the ratio of the concentration of Cu^2+^ to that of phosphate in poly(A : 2I), r~t~ = 0, poly(A : 2I) is stable, is stable, at r~t~ = 0.27, poly(A : 2I) decays in poly(A) and 2 poly(I), and at r~t~ = 1.6, there is a racemate.
