Incorporation of 5-substituted uracil derivatives into nucleic acids. The isolation and gamma-radiation-sensitivity of bacteriophage T3 containing the thymine analogue 5-vinyluracil.

A compound with properties identical with the glucose-containing dolichyl diphosphate oligosaccharide present in animal tissues was detected in alfalfa roots incubated with [14C]glucose. The products of mild acid hydrolysis behaved the same on paper chromatography, on treatment with specific glucosidases and on N-deacetylation.
