The minor nucleoside 4-thiouridine in Escherichia coli tRNA is transformed selectively to uridine by iodate oxidation at acidic pH. The four major nucleotides were found to be inert under these conditions. The iodate oxidation appears to be more specific than the previous conversion methods reported, and has the advantage that it does not affect the chargeability of most tRNA.
大肠杆菌转运核糖核酸（tRNA）中的次要核苷4-硫尿苷在酸性pH条件下通过碘酸盐氧化被选择性地转化为尿苷。发现四种主要核苷酸在这些条件下呈惰性。碘酸盐氧化似乎比先前报道的转化方法更具特异性，并且具有不影响大多数tRNA充电能力的优点。
