Complexes of polyribocytidylic acid and polyriboadenylic acid with poly( L ‐lysine) and poly( L ‐arginine) were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The backbones of both polynucleotides are distorted by poly( L ‐arginine). On the other hand, poly( L ‐lysine) could distort the backbone of polyriboadenylic acid but not that of polyribocytidylic acid. In general, poly( L ‐arginine) can increase the order of the base stacking, while poly( L ‐lysine) causes disordering in the base stacking.
