ml were withdrawn and assayed for ability to transform H. influenzae cells to streptomycin resis- tance.5 Incubation of the mixture at 370C in the dark for 25 min produced no observable change in the amount of transforming activity. In some experiments synthetic polynucleotides were treated with photoreactivating enzyme plus light before addition of the transforming DNA. Samples of 0.2 ml of irradiated polymer at 10 zg/ml were mixed with 10 ,ul stock yeast enzyme in white porcelain spot plates. After blacklight illumination, 0.1 ml of the mix was diluted with 1.15 ml phosphate buffer, 0.15 ml transforming DNA was added, and 0.2-ml samples were placed in spot plates for photoreactivation as before. The yeast enzyme showed no evidence of inactivation for as long as 3 hr under the blacklight at 370C. Thymine dimer assay: Tritium-labeled thymidine triphosphate was used to make poly dA:dT (H3) with a specific activity of about 3000 cpm/ug, determined by scintillation counting. Irradiated, photoreactivated samples were hydrolyzed with formic acid at 1750C and chromato-graphed in two dimensions on Whatman #1 paper as previously described.6 Hydrolyzed calf thymus DNA was added to each sample for aid in locating the compounds on the paper. Paper strips were cut, eluted in water, placed in 15-ml dioxane-naphthalene fluid,7 and counted in a scintillation spectrometer.
