The macromolecular parameters of ascites tumor cell H-RNA

Abstract

A concerted analysis of sedimentation, light scattering and small-angle X-ray-scattering data on high-molecular-weight Ehrlich ascites tumor cell RNA has been carried out. The three sets of data have been found to be in quantitative agreement with a compact structure consisting of short double-helical roldlike subunits, which account for 90% of the RNA mass.
