Abstract
A new continuous-source, monochromatic ultraviolet optical system designed for use in the Spinco Model-E ultracentrifuge was constructed and its properties described. Using this system, the flotation density of native and denatured DNA from various T-bacteriophages in Cs2SO4 was determined. It was found that all the denatured DNA's examined gave rise to two density bands, except for T6 DNA which possibly had three bands, in Cs2SO4 but not in CsCl. The relevance of these findings to the data of others was discussed.
