Abstract

Here we describe some properties of nucleic acids, which observed in ‘atypical” experiments. So, we show that physical and chemical properties of nucleic acids depend on dissolved gases. We show particularly that thermal hyperchromism of DNA depends on dissolved oxygen and (or) air. It has been showed most importantly the thermal hyperchromism does not observe for DNA degassed solutions. Here we also demonstrate the difference between some chemical properties of nucleic acids in degassed solutions and in solutions saturated with hydrogen or oxygen. We illustrate too the difference between physical and chemical properties of nucleic acids in the homogenous and gradient-containing solutions; the last case we offer as approximation of the conditions, in which the nucleic acids exist in vivo.
