Determination of base ratios on sub-microgram quantities of RNA

  • 1. John Innes Institute, Norwich (UK)

Description

The determination of base compositions of ribonucleic acids is an important step in sequence analysis. A simple, sensitive procedure for chemically labelling RNA and its derivates which uses p-hydrazinobenzene-[35S]sulphonic acid as the radioactive labelling reagent was described previously, and makes use of [35S]sulphanilic acid. Now a routine labelling method for determining base compositions of RNA and ribooligonucleotides is presented, using the same procedure. The procedure is simple and very sensitive requiring only 0.5 μg of the polymer for at least a triplicate determination
