Detection of all single-base mismatches in solution by chemiluminescence.

Nelson, N C, Hammond, P W, Matsuda, E, Goud, A A, Becker, M M

A rapid in-solution method for the detection of all 12 single-base mismatches is described. The technique is based on the hybridization protection assay (HPA) format that utilizes oligonucleotide...

A high throughput method to investigate oligodeoxyribonucleotide hybridization kinetics and thermodynamics.

Mazumder, A, Majlessi, M, Becker, M M

We describe a high throughput microtiter-based assay to measure binding of oligodeoxyribonucleotides to nucleic acid targets. The assay utilizes oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes labeled with a highly...

Advantages of 2'-O-methyl oligoribonucleotide probes for detecting RNA targets.

Majlessi, M, Nelson, N C, Becker, M M

We have compared various kinetic and melting properties of oligoribonucleotide probes containing 2'-O-methylnucleotides or 2'-deoxynucleotides with regard to their use in assays for the detection of...

Selenium increases hydrogenase expression in autotrophically cultured Bradyrhizobium japonicum and is a constituent of the purified enzyme.

Boursier, P, Hanus, F J, Papen, H, Becker, M M, Russell, S A, Evans, H J

We have investigated the effect of added selenite on autotrophic growth and the time course of hydrogen oxidation derepression in Bradyrhizobium japonicum 122DES cultured in a medium purified to...

Selective visualization of gene structure with ultraviolet light.

Wang, Z, Becker, M M

The ability of the ultraviolet (UV) "footprinting" technique to detect chromatin has been investigated in vitro. Two basic types of chromatin, a phased nucleosome and a phased nucleosome containing a...

"Ultraviolet footprinting" accurately maps sequence-specific contacts and DNA kinking in the EcoRI endonuclease-DNA complex.

Becker, M M, Lesser, D, Kurpiewski, M, Baranger, A, Jen-Jacobson, L

The "UV footprinting" technique has been used to detect contacts between EcoRI endonuclease and its recognition sequence at single nucleotide resolution. Comparison of the UV-footprinting results to...

Genomic footprinting in mammalian cells with ultraviolet light.

Becker, M M, Wang, Z, Grossmann, G, Becherer, K A

A simple and accurate genomic primer extension method has been developed to detect ultraviolet footprinting patterns of regulatory protein-DNA interactions in mammalian genomic DNA. The technique can...
