Energetics of internal GU mismatches in ribooligonucleotide helixes.

abstract：:Stopped-flow and laser photolysis methods have been used to investigate the rates of electron-transfer reactions of fully reduced riboflavin and the three oxidation states of Clostridium pasteurianum flavodoxin. Both normal and 7,8-dichloroflavin analogues were studied. Redox reagents included oxygen, ferricyanide, fe...
