Undine, undine 5[image]-phosphate, thymidme 5[image]-phosphate, guanosine 5[image]-phosphate, and deoxy-guanosine 5[image]-phosphate react with N-cyclohexyl-N[image]-[beta]-(4-methylmorpho-hnium)ethylcarbodiimide p-toluenesulfonate in water at pH 8-8.5 and, under these conditions, there is no detectable reaction with adenosine or cytidine derivatives. The products of the reaction are adducts containing 1 molecule of the carbodumide reagent attached to the base of the nucleotide and, in the case of the pyrimidine derivatives, an N3-substituted structure is proposed. The carbodumide groups can be readily removed from the derivatives by treatment at pH 10-11. The reversible blocking procedure for undine compounds was used to impose greater specificity on the action of pancreatic RNase. Uridylyl-(3[image]-5[image])-undine and uridylyl-(3[image]-5[image])-cytidine are both resistant to RNase degradation after they have been treated with the above reagent. A procedure was developed by which RNA may be cleaved at the cytidine 3[image]-phosphoryl positions only. In this procedure RNA is 1st treated with the above reagent and then hydrolyzed with RNase. The enzyme is subsequently removed or destroyed and the blocking groups are removed. The analysis of the products shows that those components which arise from cleavage at undine 3[image]-phosphoryl bonds in the RNA were reduced to a low level.
