Hypersensitive substrate for ribonucleases
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
A substrate for a hypersensitive assay of ribonucleolytic activity was developed in a systematic manner. This substrate is based on the fluorescence quenching of fluorescein held in proximity to rhodamine by a single ribonucleotide embedded within a series of deoxynucleotides. When the substrate is cleaved, the fluorescence of fluorescein is manifested. The optimal substrate is a tetranucleotide with a...
