Failure of the G-spe- cific RNases to appear in the left half of the gel is a function solely of the base sequence of the substrate, since- all other conditions of electrophoresis and activity staining are essen- tially the same. The large difference in electrophoretic mo- bility of RNases Ti and U1 (both acidic proteins) and the similarity in mobility of RNases U1 and N1 (the latter a neu- tral protein) presumably reflects varying fractional protona- tion of protein amino groups in the high pH buffer system. Repeated failure of RNase T2 to form well delineated bands may be due to microheterogeneity within the two known, separable entities which have been designated T2A and T2B (21). That oligonucleotides of short chain length complex with toluidine blue to form a colored background in polyacrylam- ide slabs is not unexpected in view of the fact that the pri- FIG. 2.
