On the Methylated Purine Content of tRNA Present in Tumours

British Journal of Cancer volume 29, pages 324–327 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

The methylated purine content of tRNA bulk extracted from human hepatomata has been compared with that in normal human liver. The analyses were carried out with the aid of ion-exchange chromatography. The molar proportions of 5 bases detected in acid hydrolysates of tumour tRNA (N2-methylguanine, 1-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine, N2-dimethylguanine and 1-methyladenine) were not abnormally elevated.
