Substitution of Tyr254 with Phe at the active site of flavocytochrome b2: consequences on catalysis of lactate dehydrogenation.

abstract：:The free solution electrophoretic mobilities and thermal stabilities of hairpins formed by two complementary 26-nucleotide oligomers have been measured by capillary electrophoresis. The oligomers are predicted to form molecular beacon-like hairpins with 5 bp stems and 16 nucleotides in the loop. One hairpin, called ha...
