Attempts were made to reactivate the UV-inactivated polyuridylic acid through hydrogen peroxide, uranyl acetate and visible light. We could show that polyuridylic acid irradiated at a dose of 1.2 ×105 ergs/mm2 could be completely reactivated, while the one irradiated at a higher dose of 2.4 ×105 ergs/mm2 could not be completely reactivated under the conditions of our experiment. We have studied the effects of hydrogen peroxide and uranyl acetate on UV-irradiated polyuridylic acid chemically as well. Our results altogether show that the photoreactivating effect of uranyl acetate and hydrogen peroxide is due to their ability to split the uracil dimers formed during UV-irradiation.
