Abstract
RIBONUCLEIC acid isolated from uninfected mammalian cells as well as from those infected with polio virus has been characterized by chromatography on methyl esterified albumin column1–3. We have observed that ultra-violet irradiation of such RNA preparations alters their behaviour on this column. Experiments illustrating this effect are described here.
