“…NaHSO3 was removed by two dialyses (each of2h) against 0.15M-NaCI/0.0I M-Tris/ HCI, pH 7.5, and the adducts were removed by dialysis against 0.1 M-Tris/HCI, pH 9.0, at 37°C, for 9-lOh. The samples were then neutralized and desalted by dialysis (Goddard & Schulman, 1972;Lowdon & Goddard, 1976 (20,ug) was added as carrier to each portion and the samples were freeze-dried. They were digested with T1 ribonuclease (Calbiochem, London W.1, U.K.) or pancreatic ribonuclease (Sigma, London S.W.6, U.K.) in 0.01 M-Tris/HCI/0.0l M-EDTA (pH7.4) for 30-45min, at a 1: 10 (w/w) enzyme: substrate ratio.…”
