The intact apurinic site half-life in DNA molecules, at 37.degree. C and pH 7.21, in a medium approximating the intracellular ionic composition, was between 288-335 h. The spontaneous degradation of 3H-labeled T7 phage DNA, at 37.degree. C and pH 7.21, in the same medium, was followed by sedimentation analysis on sucrose gradients after denaturation with NaOH; it was equivalent to 0.009 break/h per DNA strand. The number of intact apurinic sites found in this incubated T7 phage DNA was much lower than the theoretical value calculated on the assumption that depurination was the only cause of DNA degradation. Depurination was apparently a minor cause of DNA degradation in the experimental conditions.
