Abstract

Nascent M12 RNA has been isolated in large quantities from Replicative Intermediate and denatured by a short heat treatment. After sucrose gradient centrifugation of the denatured Replicative Intermediate in a zonal rotor, the nascent RNA strands were divided into six fractions with increasing sedimentation values. Each fraction was further purified by sedimentation conventional sucrose gradients. In this manner, a set of M12 nascent RNA strands with fairly uniform lengths, ranging from about 15 nucleotides to almost 90% of the complete phage RNA genome, have been obtained. The molecules in these fractions, all containing the same 5â€Č‐end as complete phage RNA but an increasing portion of the phage genome, provide suitable tools for studies of the structure and function of phage RNA.
