The histochemical demonstration of hydrolase activities with films of homopolyribonucleotides.
Films of polycytidylic acid, polyuridylic acid and polyguanylic acid were exposed to tissue sections and the results were compared with those obtained in previous studies on polyadenylic acid and ribonucleic acid. Important variations were observed in the distribution of the hydrolases acting on the different polyribonucleotides, suggesting that a variety of nucleases with marked proclivity for particular nucleotide residues can be demonstrated by the use of films of homopolymers.
