Abstract
THE sodium deoxyribonucleic acid (from salmon sperm, highly polymerized) was obtained from California Corporation for Biochemical Research, Los Angeles. A surface cell was prepared by attaching two electrodes about 1 mm apart to a quartz plate. A thin film from a Na-DNA water solution was then deposited and afterwards dried between the electrodes. Conductivity measurements were made in vacuo. For photocurrent observations, a tungsten light source was used. The experimental details were similar to those described elsewhere1,2.
