Abstract
A small amount of hypoxanthine is formed when a solution of adenine is irradiated. This has been detected by using C14-labeled adenine and the techniques of paper chromatography and liquid-scintillation counting. The biological significance of this conversion is suggested.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
