The present investigation was focussed on a survey of the chemical compounds which are capable of binding with nucleotide bases. X-Ray powder patterns show that adenine and cytosine have a strong tendency to interact with many organic compounds having a carboxyl group and cyclic alternant CONH groups. A few compounds bind with thymine and uracil.
