Abstract

1. Microsomal and soluble RNA of rat liver have been studied by column and paper chromatography after administration of [Me-14C]methionine; evidence was obtained for the occurrence of 7-methylguanine, the methyl group being derived from methionine. 2. No evidence was obtained for the occurrence of 7-methylguanine in DNA.
