β¦ Synopsis
Resorufm is shown to be a good probe solute for the direct measurement of the rates of formation and breaking of solventsolute hydrogen bonds. In ethanol, a hydrogen-bond equilibration time of 40 ps is found for both the ground and excited states. Deuteration of the solvent has no effect on the equilibration time. The same time is also found in more viscous ethylene glycol solutions, indicating that hydrogen-bond breaking requires only local motion of the bonding moiety.

In order to understand further the contribution of the 3'-hydroxyl groups of 2-5A (ppps'(A2'p) \({ }_{n} A\) ) to its interaction with RNase \(L\). we synthesized a series of analogues in which the \(3^{\prime}\) '-hydroxyl moiety was replaced by fluorine to yield 3 '-fluoro-3'-deoxyadenosine  were collected on Cary 5-G Varian spectrophotometer. Emission and excitation spectra were recorded
