Oligonucleotide substrates
Duplex | Sequencea | Specification |
---|---|---|
HP | 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCACGT\ | A hairpin substrate with a single BcnI recognition sequence.b |
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGTGAT/ | ||
30/30 | 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCACGT-3′ | Same as HP, but lacks the hairpin loop. Was used as unlabeled trap DNA. |
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGTGCA-5′ | ||
G-nick | 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCGGGCAATAACGCACGT-3′ | As 30/30, except for the nick in the scissile position of the G-strand (designated by a gap).c |
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGTGCA-5′ | ||
C-nick | 5′-CTTCGCAGTACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCACGT-3′ | As 30/30, except for the nick in the scissile position of the C-strand (designated by a gap).c |
3′-GAAGCGTCATGCGGCCCGTTATTGCGTGCA-5′ | ||
GG | /TAGCAGTACGCC*GGGCAACGCCpGGGCAATAACGCA-3′ | A hairpin substrate that carries two BcnI sites in direct repeat orientation. The internal 33P label is designated by *. |
\TGCGTCATGCGGCpCCGTTGCGGCpCCGTTATTGCGT-5′ |
aThe BcnI recognition sequences are underlined; scissile positions are designated by ‘p’.
bThe HP substrate carried a radiolabel either at the 5′ or the 3′ terminus.
cThe G-nick and the C-nick substrates carried a radiolabel at the 5′ terminus of the 30 nt strand and a 5′-terminal phosphate at the position of the nick.
