TI - Interaction of 6-Thiopurines and Thiol-Containing RNA with a Cellulose Mercurial N2 - Thiol-containing bases such as 6-mercaptopurine bind to mercurated cellulose under conditions where non-thiol bases do not bind. Both RNA and thiol-containing RNA bind to mercurated cellulose, but the affinity for thiol-containing RNA is considerably greater. Ligands such as CN- and S,O,'- inhibit this binding to mercurated cellulose, and conditions can be found which permit almost complete retention. of thiol-containing RNA with low retention of non-thiol-containing RNA. A simple method is described for separating newly synthesised RNA containing thiol groups from older RNA which does not contain thiol groups UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GtR7FCkDgOz1G8GGqunT2_S7p6TXpJQB/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
