Abstract
We describe structural analysis of small RNAs by SHAPE chemical probing. RNAs are treated with 1-methyl-7-nitroisatoic anhydride, a reagent that detects local nucleotide flexibility; and N-methylisatoic anhydride and 1-methyl-6-nitroisatoic anhydride, reagents which together detect higher-order and noncanonical interactions. Chemical adducts are quantified as stops during reverse transcriptase-mediated primer extension. Probing information can be used to infer conformational changes and ligand binding and to develop highly accurate models of RNA secondary structures.Entities:
