Abstract
The molecular weight of ribonucleic acid separated from tobacco mosaic virus by heat denaturation of the protein has been measured by light‐scattering techniques and found to correspond to the weight of all the nucleic acid in a virus rod. The nucleic acid disintegrated rapidly at room temperature, most probably by enzymatic action.Keywords
