Abstract

In the present study we have investigated the possibility that an RNA molecule can be directly converted in DNA by sequential action of ribonucleotide reductase- and thymidylate synthetase-like activities. The reasons for advancing such an unorthodox hypothesis arose from some considerations on the nuclear RNA (hnRNA) from eukaryotic cells.
