Abstract
If RNA may contain a small proportion of adenine-guanine base pairs, these could interrupt the continuity of helical structure in a polynucleotide, in keeping with current theories of RNA structure, and could also account for the experimentally observed tendency for 6-amino bases to equal 6-keto bases and for purines to exceed pyrimidines.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
