RESUMO
Soluble complexes of poly (U) and adenylic nucleotides in NaCl solutions were studied by scanning microcalorimetry. The melting enthalpies, delta Hm, of poly (U) complexes with adenosine, 2',3' -cAMP, 2'(3')-AMP, 5-AMP, ADP, ATP in 1 M NaCl are 50.5; 45.0; 42.9; 28.6; 26.1 and 25.6 kJ/mole triplets, respectively. Delta Hm is independent of the complex melting temperature, Tm. The calorimetric enthalpies are considerably lower than the apparent delta Hv.H. obtained from Tm dependence on free monomer concentration. The enthalpy of complex formation in 1 M NaCl depends neither ob the number nor on the degree of ionization of the phosphate groups but is essentially determined by their 5' - or 2'(3')-position. In contrast to 2'(3')- AMP. 2 poly (U), delta Hm of 5'AMP. 2 poly (U) increases considerably at lowering Na+ concentration. The enthalpy of poly (U) double helix melting in 1 M NaCl is 8.8 kJ/mole pairs which is 2.5 times lower than that in MgCl2 solutions.
