Title: An ethidium-induced double helix of poly(dA)-poly(rU). Author: Lehrman EA, Crothers DM. Journal: Nucleic Acids Res; 1977; 4(5):1381-92. PubMed ID: 896465. Abstract: Equilibrium dialysis, relaxation kinetic, melting, and continuous variation mixing experiments on complexes of poly(dA) and poly(rU) demonstrate that ethidium induces conversion of a 1:1 mixture of these homopolymers (at one molar salt and 19 degrees C) from a three stranded to a two stranded helix. This is the first demonstration of a double helix of poly(dA)-poly(rU) in solution.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
