RNA secondary structure is critical to RNA regulation and function. We report a new N-kethoxal reagent that allows fast and reversible labeling of single-stranded guanine bases in live cells. This N-kethoxal-based chemistry allows efficient RNA labeling under mild conditions and transcriptome-wide RNA secondary structure mapping.
RNA 二级结构对 RNA 的调控和功能至关重要。我们报告了一种新的 N-酮代乙醛肟试剂,可在活细胞中快速且可逆地标记单链鸟嘌呤碱基。这种基于 N-酮代乙醛肟的化学方法可在温和条件下实现高效的 RNA 标记,并可进行全转录组 RNA 二级结构图谱绘制。
