Abstract excerpt
A new laser-based mass spectrometry method, called laser induced liquid bead ion desorption (LILBID), was applied to investigate RNA:ligand interactions. As model system the HIV Tat:TAR transactivation complex and its binding behavior were analyzed. TARwt of HIV Type 1 and Type 2 and different artificial mutants were compared regarding their binding to Tat and different peptide ligands. Specific and nonspecific...
