+3800 cal./mole (A + 2U) formed and AS = 11.5 cal./mole of (A + 2U) formed. It is concluded from the calorimetric data that the driving force for the poly (A + U) to poly (A + 2U) conversion reaction is the favorable entropy change.

Interaction of poly(X) with poly(U) to form a regular, ordered structure has been investigated by uv, CD, and ir spectroscopy. The XU complex exhibits a marked dependence of T, on the nature of the alkali metal ion present in solution. Stability of the complex is surprisingly high and increases with
## Abstract The ZimmβBragg theory is extended to treat the melting of the triple helix poly (A + 2U) for a solution with a 1 : 2 mole ratio of poly A to poly U. Only the case for long chains is considered. For a given set of parameters the theory predicts the fraction of segments in the triple heli
## Abstract The slow kinetics of annealing processes in multistranded nucleic acids is spectrophotometrically investigated using poly(A)Β·2poly(U) as a model system. The absorbance changes at specific wavelengths show that doubleβhelical (AΒ·U) base pairs appear as transient intermediates. The anneal
