Abstract
Experiments are described in which the nearest neighbor to cytidylate and base composition was determined for RNA synthesized by a partially purified bacterial enzyme which requires DNA. The results show that different DNAs alter the position of cytidylate in the newly assembled RNA chain and that the ribopolynucleotide has an average base composition similar to the "primer" DNA used.Keywords
