The molecular weight of bacteriophage phi W-14 DNA, determined by velocity sedimentation in neutral sucrose gradients, was 92 +/- 6 X 10(6). The DNA showed marked fragmentation in alkaline sucrose gradients. This fragmentation was not a consequence of preexisting single-strand interruptions in the DNA, since thermal denaturation of DNA yielded intact single strands. The alpha-putrescinylthymine groups in phi W-14 DNA appeared to be labile; some, or parts of some, of these groups were cleaved from the DNA in alkali.
通过在中性蔗糖梯度中进行速度沉降测定,噬菌体φW - 14 DNA的分子量为92±6×10⁶ 。该DNA在碱性蔗糖梯度中显示出明显的片段化。这种片段化并非DNA中预先存在的单链中断所致,因为DNA的热变性产生了完整的单链。φW - 14 DNA中的α-腐胺基胸腺嘧啶基团似乎不稳定;这些基团中的一些或部分在碱中从DNA上被切割下来。
