Monitoring of RNA Dynamics in Living Cells Using PUM-HD and Fluorescent Protein Reconstitution Technique.

abstract：:Monte Carlo simulations of neighbor exclusion models have been used to demonstrate the importance of collecting and fitting data over a wide range of saturation. Low saturation data are important for good estimates of the affinity K of a drug or protein for the lattice site. High saturation data are important for dist...
