The interaction of unsubstituted purine with polyuridylic acid in DzO solution a t neutral pD has been studied by high resolution proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The poly U proton resonances were shifted to higher fields by the added purine, indicating that purine binds to the uracil bases o

β¦ Synopsis
Spectrophotometric measurements were made on the extent of binding of formaldehyde to polyuridylic acid under conditions of varying temperature and formaldehyde concentration. The data is interpreted in terms of a temperature-dependent stacking of the bases in poly U at 20Β°, but not at 40Β°C. A theory of cooperative stacking is developed which considers the base residues to be either non-bonded,, non-bonded and methylolated, or stacked. The results indicate essentially non-cooperative base stacking under these conditions with an equilibrium constant for base stacking of 0.92 at 20Β°C.

Kinetic equations for the decomposition of S-hydroxymethyl cellulose xanthate in the presence of acid and formaldehyde are derived. The assumed mechanism involves an equilibrium between the 8-hydroxymethyl cellulose xanthate and cellulose xanthic acid and xanthate ion. Decomposition appears to proce
