We found that the methyl group of -methyladenine is able to hinder the methylation of -methyladenine at the position by DMS. Based on this, we have devised a novel method for detecting -methyladenine, which was successfully applied to identify specific mA loci in 28S rRNA.
我们发现 -甲基腺嘌呤上的甲基基团能够通过 DMS 阻碍 -甲基腺嘌呤在 位的甲基化。基于此,我们设计了一种检测 -甲基腺嘌呤的新方法,并成功应用于鉴定 28S rRNA 中的特定 mA 位点。
