    Abstract:
    The treatment of highly purified DNA obtained from calf thymus nuclei (N-DNA) with a chelating agent and subsequent repeated dialyses led to release of phosphopeptides (PPs) into the dialysates. By means of anion exchange column chromatography, the PPs were separated into 9 main fractions. Two of them (P1 and P5) contained the amino acids phosphoserine, asp, thr, ser, glu, gly, ala, val, ile, leu, and arg, as well as metal ion complexes of phosphoserine. The complexes were dissociated by deionization with nitrilotriacetate + Chelex. The proportion of phosphoserine was about twice as great in P5 as in P1. Whereas P1 and P5 contained essentially no nucleotide material, the other fractions contained ribonucleotides and deoxynucleotides. The deoxynucleotide content was less than 10% of that of total nucleotides. After a deionizing treatment, the amounts of nucleotides in these fractions were reduced to a level corresponding to 1 nucleotide per peptide of 5-15 amino acids.
