— The photoreactivation of TMV–RNA‡ irradiated with either 253–7 mμ or 302 mμ light can be prevented by reconstitution of the virus from TMV–protein and the ultraviolet irradiated RNA. The prevention of photoreactivation by reconstitution is not irreversible as the RNA can be extracted from the reconstituted virus and is still capable of undergoing photoreactivation.
