Comparison of the structures of free and ribosome-bound tRNAPhe by using slow tritium exchange.
Neal M. Farber,Charles R. Cantor +1 more
TL;DR: The rate of incorporation of tritium from the solvent into the C-8 position of purines in RNA is markedly sensitive to the microenvironment and appears to be the result of a conformational change that is most likely an unfolding of the T and D loops.

Lighting up hybridization
TL;DR: This article is a succinct review of recent advances in fluorescence spectroscopy which are optimizing current hybridization techniques.
Effects of saturation mutagenesis of the phage SP6 promoter on transcription activity, presented by activity logos.
TL;DR: A full set of SP6 promoter variants with all possible single substitutions at positions -17 to +5 was constructed and some variants showed exceptionally higher activities in vivo than in vitro, supporting the possibility that these residues are involved in postbinding steps, including template melting and bending.

MALDI-TOF MS: a platform technology for genetic discovery
Dirk van den Boom,Martin Beaulieu,Paul Oeth,Rich Roth,Christiane Honisch,Matthew R. Nelson,Christian Jurinke,Charles R. Cantor +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been applied as a high-throughput platform technology for qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid analysis in the genetic discovery of target genes and their biological validation.
