title: Synthesis of terminally labelled RNA sequences: fluorescence and hybridisation study of RNA-DNA duplexes.
abstract: A stable and suitably labelled DNA-RNA hybrid, resistant to RNAse degradation has been prepared by hybridising the RNA sequence carrying methoxy group at 2'-position of ribose moiety in adenosines and labelled with dansyl group attached via a linker at the terminal uridyl unit. Study may be useful in sequencing and targeting specific viral sequences.
