title: A rapid and sensitive method for measuring ribonucleic acid in ribosomal preparations.
abstract: By using the fluorescence enhancement of ethidium bromide when it binds to RNA, a very rapid, simple and sensitive assay for the concentration of ribosomal RNA in complex mixtures has been devised.
