Abstract
SEMMENS1 has recently suggested that the Feulgen reaction with chromatin may be due to the purine components of the nucleic acids. The argument rests on his observations that piperidine and pyridine restored to the Feulgen solution its “original” colour, and that certain purines gave “positive” colour reactions.
