Results.-In brief, the following results were obtained.(1) PY DNA always sediments in two bands, a fast one (F) anda slow one (S). TheF and S components are stable under a variety of conditions; bothare infectious.(2) In the column of methylated albumin the Scomponent is eluted at higher salt concentration than the F component.(3) The following observations were made by density gradient equilibrium centrifugation. At pH 7.5 the bands formed by theF and by the S component have the same density and do not differ greatly in width; at pH 11.8 most ofthe F component has the density of native DNA, whereas the S component has the density of denatured DNA. At pH 12.5 both components are denatured; the S component forms a wider band.(4) In band sedimentation at pH 12.5 the F component sediments about 2.5 times faster than at pH 7.5; after neutralization and annealing it reacquires the original sedimentation characteristics. The S component, on the contrary, migrates at pH 12.5, about the same speed as at pH 7.5.(5) The infectivity of the F component is increased several times after treatment at pH 12.5 followed by neutralization; the infectivity of the S component is lost after this treatment.(6) Pancreatic DNAase converts the F component into the S component, with loss of infectivity. The kineticsof conversion is unusual, since it is of first order. These results show that molecules of polyoma virus DNA in different 236
