The color reaction of catalyzing α-Naphthylacetate to hydrolyze polyribotidepoly(A),poly(U)and their renaturated mixture poly(A)poly(U)incubated together withα-Naphylacetate and fast blue RR salt was studied.The result showed that the annealed poly(A)· poly(U) and the single strand polymers of Adenine were able to hydrolyze α-Naphthy-lacetate but poly(U)was not.It suggested that no matter that the2'-OH of riboes was deox-idated or not,its catalvtic ability was not affected,but the pattern of the bases stacking alongthe strand which provided...
