Chemical Determination of the Biologically Active Factor in the Ribonucleic Acid of Tobacco Mosaic Virus

Abstract

The results can be harmonized with the assumption that the transformation of Cya or a part thereof into naturally occurring Ura does not lead to inactivation, but to mutation. Even the desamination of Gu residues could result in replicatable derivatives, in the event only the substitutent in the 6 position, which is not attacked, is essential for the biological effect.
