Free radical biology & medicine, 20(5), 751-756 (1996-01-01)
The ability of scavengers of hydroxyl radical (OH radical) to modulate the photosensitized relaxation (induction of the first single-strand break) of supercoiled plasmid DNA with UVA photoactivated 4'-aminomethyl-4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen was examined by comparing the dose reduction factor (DRF: the ratio of

A method is reported for conjugating an analog of 4'-(aminomethyl)-4,5',8- trimethylpsoralen to methylphophonate oligonucleotides. This method enables the psoralen moiety to be coupled to the phosphonate backbone between any two desired bases in a sequence. When hybridized to a target
W S Groene et al.
Journal of virological methods, 38(1), 93-102 (1992-07-01)
The use of the synthetic psoralen 4'-aminomethyl-4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen hydrochloride (AMT) is described for the inactivation of infectious rotavirus, a member of the viral family Reoviradae with a double-stranded RNA genome. This method not only provides complete inactivation of the virus but

RNA (New York, N.Y.), 7(1), 133-142 (2001-02-24)
Base pairing between the 5' end of U1 snRNA and the conserved 5' splice site of pre-mRNA is important for commitment complex formation in vitro. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which pre-mRNA is initially recognized by the splicing machinery is
M Beltrame et al.
The EMBO journal, 11(4), 1531-1542 (1992-04-01)
It has long been known that U3 can be isolated hydrogen bonded to pre-ribosomal RNAs, but the sites of interaction are poorly characterized. Here we show that yeast U3 can be cross-linked to 35S pre-rRNA both in deproteinized extracts and
