The preparation and analysis of a new trinucleotide from yeast ribonucleic acid, containing two adjacent 2′-O-methylpentose residues

Abstract

Quantities of the order of 10mg of three alkali-stable trinucleotides were prepared from yeast ribonucleic acid. Analyses showed that they were of the type N1m-N2m-N3p, where m signifies 2′-O-methylation of the pentose residue. One, Am-Um-Gp, is newly described.
