Combining structure probing data on RNA mutants with evolutionary information reveals RNA-binding interfaces.

abstract：:Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) from bacterial chromosomes became the focus of research over the past five years. However, relatively little is known in terms of structural requirements, kinetics of interaction with their targets and degradation in contrast to well-studied plasmid-encoded antisense RNAs. Here, we presen...

abstract：:Multivalent cations are known to condense DNA into higher ordered structures, including toroids and rods. Here we report that solid supports treated with monovalent or multivalent cationic silanes, followed by removal of soluble molecules, can condense DNA. The mechanism of this surface-directed condensation depends o...
