However, studies on lead-catalyzed cleavage of RNA in vitro indicate that micromolar to millimolar concentrations of free lead are required for efficient cleavage. (See refs 9-14.) Such high concentrations of lead are unlikely to be physiologically relevant.

23. Synthetic peptides were purchased from either Biosynthesis (P.O. Box 28, Lewisville, TX 75067-0028) or the Macromolecular Structure Facility at Michigan State University (Department of Biochemistry, East Lansing, MI 48824).
24. The following molecular weights were obtained by mass spectrometry: CP-CCHH 2962.4 (calculated 2962.4); CP-CCHC 2928.4 (calculated 2928.4); CP-CCCC 2894.3 (calculated 2894.4); HIV-CCHC 2014.6 (calculated 2006.4). Mass spectra were obtained with the peptides from Biosynthesis.
25. Molar extinction coefficients for CP-CCHH, CP-CCHC, and CP-CCCC were obtained from J. M. Berg and co-workers (personal communication).
26. The molar extinction coefficient for HIV-CCHC was calculated from the absorbance spectrum of a peptide stock solution that had been quantitated by amino acid analysis. Amino acid analysis was conducted by the Keck Biophysics Facility at Yale University.
