A possibility was studied to use the plaster copies of skulls in the forensic medical identification of personality by applying the craniofacial method. No dependence was found between the plaster casts and the moulding types. Differences between the same craniometric sizes in the skull and in its cast are of an incidental nature.

Craniological (including computer photoblending), odontological, osteometric, and spectral methods were sued. Numerous photographs, Imperial Family clothes from museums, soil specimens from Tsarskoe Selo and place of burial were used.

According to electrophoretic data, photoreagent (I) gives rise to a covalent photoadduct with compound (IV) as well as with derivatives (VI) and (VII). In the case of reagent (II), only targets (V) - (VII) including aliphatic amino groups participate in the photocoupling.

It is shown that the oligonucleotides with a perfluoroarylazide group were effective modifiers both of deoxyribo- and ribo-targets. Maximum extent of cross-linked product formation (70%) was obtained when the deoxyribo-octanucleotide was modified by a heptanucleotide reagent with a perfluoroarylazide group.
