Abstract

AbstractTaking into account the specific base–base interaction existing between nucleic acid molecules, we studied the free‐radical copolymerization of N‐β‐methacryloyloxyethyl derivative of uracil with that of adenine at 60°C in various solvents. N‐β‐Methacryloyloxyethyltheophylline as well as methyl methacrylate were used also as comonomers. From the data on the rates in different comonomer feed ratios and the r1 and r2 values obtained, copolymerizability was discussed in some detail. The results suggest that the interaction between uracil and adenine bases plays a role in the copolymerization behavior.
