Description

Abstract— Photoreversible cyclobutane‐type pyrimidine dimers were found in 32 P‐labeled RN A isolated from intact potato virus X irradiated with 254 nm light. The number of dimers was correlated with the biological infectivity of the ultraviolet‐treated virus. Assuming that incorporated 32 P is homogeneously distributed in the viral RNA chain, it can be calculated that about 5·7±1·7 dimers are present in each strand of virus per lethal biological hit.
