27. Because the CD spectra reported for uridine and thymine are almost identical [Sprecher, C. A.; Johnson, W. C., Jr. Biopolymers 1977, 16, 2243.] it is unlikely that the substitution of U with T changed the CD spectra.

30. It is recognized that estimation of the nucleotide concentration includes an ∼10% uncertainly. The experimental uncertainty affects the peak intensity while it does not change the shape of the spectra. This would cause a weak correlation between the peak intensity and the stability. To eliminate the uncertainty in the concentration, we used the ratio of the peak intensity at 265 nm with that at 240 nm as shown in Figure 3B, A plot of the ratio of the peak intensity at 270 nm with that at 240 nm also showed a linear fit with a linear-correlation coefficient (r) of 0.89 (data not shown).
31. 37s at 1 M NaCl with those at 100 mM NaCl [Nakano, S.; Hara, H.; Sugimoto, N. Nucleic Acids Res. 1999, 27, 2957.], the relationship may also be observed at lower ionic conditions.
