title: [Amino acids as catalysts of the binding reaction of formaldehyde with adenine residue in polyadenylic acid].
abstract: Binding of formaldehyde and amino acids (Gly, Lys and Leu) with poly(A), poly(G), and poly(C) has been investigated in comparison with treatment with formaldehyde alone. It was found that in the case of poly(A) amino acids were found to catalyze the N-hydroxymethylation reaction on exocyclic amino groups of adenine. For example, at 20 degrees C and pH 6.0 the rate of this reaction increased about 10 fold in the presence of glycine.
