Abstract
The information obtained on the structure of the nucleic acids from crystal structure determinations of nucleosides and related compounds was discussed. A probable configuration of the nucleotides was suggested, and modifications of the Astbury model of thymonucleic acid proposed. In these new models the pentose rings are roughly parallel to the long axis of the molecule.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
