Abstract

RNA polymerase reactions primed with a variety of different DNA preparations (T2, thymus, denatured thymus and dAT copolymer) lead to the incorporation of 32P from β-γ 32P-labeled ATP into an acid-insoluble form. Evidence has been presented which indicates that the triphosphate group is present at the end of RNA chains.
