Ribosomal ribonucleates from Escherichia coli have been resolved into 16S and 28S components by sucrose density-gradient centrifugation, and the chain termini in each of the 16S and 23S RNA components have been analyzed by hydrolysis with alkali. The principal 5′-linked end group of 16S RNA was found to be adenosine, and the principal 5′-linked end group of 23S RNA was found to be uridine. The principal 3′-linked end group of 16S RNA was also found to be adenosine, whereas the principal 3′-linked end group of 23S RNA was found to be guanosine. Quantitative estimates of chain length based on analyses for 5′-iinked terminals indicate that the mean chain length for 16S RNA is about 1.3 × 103nucleotide residues and the mean chain length for 23S RNA is about 2.1 × 103nucleotide residues.
