Abstract
Abstract 1. A rapid method for preparation of deoxyribose 5-phosphate is reported. 2. Pseudouridylate synthetase utilizes deoxyribose 5-phosphate in place of ribose 5-phosphate. The product of the reaction is deoxypseudouridine 5′-phosphate. 3. Labeled deoxypseudouridine is incorporated into the DNA of growing cultures of Escherichia coli. 4. Deoxypseudouridine is without effect on growing L cells.
