The electrophoretic mobility of DNA in the presence of tetramethylammonium and alkali metal ion chlorides has been studied as a function of ionic strength. Each cation exhibits a characteristic behavior in accord with the idea that the order of interaction with DNA is Li+ > Na+ > K + > TMA+. The app

Abstract
DNA from bacteriophage T7 was irradiated at long ultraviolet wavelengths in the presence of silver ions. Such treatment leads to selective production of thymine: thymine dimers in DNA. The DNA was melted and the renaturation rate was determined as a function of thymine dimer content and renaturation temperature. Under βnormalβ hybridization conditions little change in the renaturation rate was observed even when 30% of the thymine was dimerized. This result is consistent with the view that up to a 15% change in the primary sequence of DNA dose not appreciably change the renaturation rate.
