The field of nucleic acids has grown to such a tremendeous size that it is impossible to include all publications concerning the chemistry and biological role of nucleic acids in an article of the length presented in this "Volume. Therefore, it is necessary to select the most important contributions and those not included "in well-known reviews. In many cases reference is made only to the authors who summarized their specialized field in chapters of the three volumes of "The Nucleic Acids" (edB. E. CHARGAFF and J. N. DAVIDSON, Acad. Press, New York 1955 and 19(0) or to the "Nucleic Acid...

of energids per cell is assumed to equal the number of genetic complements as well as the number of viable cells that eventually may emerge from it without replication of its genetic material. (In eucaryotic cells, polyenergidy occurs in the form of cells containing several nuclei each or as polyploidy, referring to the co-existence of genollles within the boundaries of a single nucleus. Obviously terms such as "poly nucleated" and "polyploid" arc inappropriate for protocaryotic cells.) The number of energids pCI' cell can be subject to variation as a response to certain environmental...
