A study of the effects of reaction with formaldehyde on some optical and physical properties of reticulocyte ribosomes.
1. The optical rotatory dispersion and ultraviolet-absorption spectrum of ribosomal RNA in situ appear to be unchanged when the ribosome is dissociated into its RNA and protein moieties. 2. Reaction with 0.05% formaldehyde at 20 degrees for 2hr. ;fixes' ribosomes so that they remain intact in 1% sodium dodecyl sulphate. 3. The RNA moiety of the ribosome undergoes a conformational change when ribosomes in 8% formaldehyde are heated at 70 degrees for 10min. and cooled to 20 degrees . After this treatment no double-helical character can be detected, but neither the sedimentation coefficient nor the morphology of the ribosome determined by electron microscopy is altered. 4. It is concluded that the RNA moiety of reticulocyte ribosomes is freely accessible to formaldehyde.
