Zusammenfassung

Die Wirkung von Röntgenstrahlen (200 kV) auf wässerige Lösungen von Nukleinsäuren und Nukleotiden wurde unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Einflusses von molekularem Sauerstoff und Wasserstoffsuperoxyd untersucht. Der so gefundene, nach der Bestrahlung einsetzende Abfall der Viskosität von D.N.A.-Lösungen (after-effect) kann als Hydrolyse der durch die Bestrahlung labilisierten Kohlenstoff-Phosphat-Bindungen angesehen werden. Untersuchungen über die Hydrolyse von bestrahlten Nukleotiden, -P.N.A.- und D.N.A.-Lösungen stehen in vollem Einklang mit obiger Annahme.

  12. In a similar graph which was published previously [M. Daniels, G. Scholes, andJ. Weiss, Nature171, 1153 (1953)], there is a misprint in the time axis corresponding to a displacement of the time scale by 1 unit (=2½ h) which is hereby corrected.
