DETERMINATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS IN ANIMAL TISSUES

Open access
Ceriotti, Giovanni·1955·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

As reported in a previous paper (l), a new microchemical method for the determination of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been devised which permits the evaluation of DNA in amounts as small as 2.5 y per ml. The method is particularly useful with very small quantities of tissue. For this reason a study was undertaken to learn the best conditions for the application of the method to the determination of DNA in animal tissues. The reaction of DNA with indole was compared with the diphenylamine reaction according to Dische (2). At the same time, a modification of the Barrenscheen and Peham (3) method for ribose determination with orcinol was worked out in order to determine pentose nucleic acid (PNA) in the same organ extracts. Total nucleic acid P of tissues was calculated from the PNA and DNA contents, found by means of color reactions. These values were compared to those obtained by a direct chemical method. Readings were also taken at 260 and 268 rnp and their values compared with those calculated from the results of the color reactions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
