RNA sequencing using fluorescent-labeled dideoxynucleotides and automated fluorescence detection.

Although dideoxy terminated sequencing of RNA, using reverse transcriptase and oligodeoxynucleotide primers, is now a well established method, the accuracy is limited by sequence ambiguities due to unspecific chain termination events. A protocol is described which circumvents these ambiguities by using fluorescence labels tagged to dideoxynucleotides. Only chain terminations caused by dideoxynucleotides were detected while premature terminated cDNA's remain undetectable. In addition, the remaining multiple signals at nucleotide positions can be assigned to sequence heterogeneities within the RNA sequence to be determined.

[Atomic/ionic fluorescence in microwave plasma torch discharge excited by high current microsecond pulsed hollow cathode lamp-europium atomic/ionic fluorescence spectrometry].

Eu atomic and ionic fluorescence spectrometry in microwave plasma torch discharge excited by high current microsecond pulsed hollow cathode lamp (HCMP HCL-MPT AFS/IFS) was studied. Operating conditions were optimized. The best detection limits for AFS and IFS obtained with a desolvated ultrasonic nebulization system were 42.0 ng/mL for Eu I 462.7 nm and 21.8 ng/mL for Eu II 381.97 nm, respectively, both were better than those given by the instruction manual of a Baird ICP AFS-2000 spectrometer using pneumatic concentric nebulizer with desolvation for AFS, but were significantly higher than those obtained by using the Baird spectrometer with a mini-monochromator and a ultrasonic nebulzer system.

Novel fluorescent protein from Discosoma coral and its mutants possesses a unique far-red fluorescence.

A novel gene for advanced red-shifted protein with an emission maximum at 593 nm was cloned from Discosoma coral. The protein, named dsFP593, is highly homologous to the recently described GFP-like protein drFP583 with an emission maximum at 583 nm. Using the remarkable similarity of the drFP583 and dsFP593 genes, we performed a 'shuffling' procedure to generate a pool of mutants consisting of various combinations of parts of both genes. One 'hybrid gene' was chosen for subsequent random mutagenesis, which resulted in a mutant variant with a uniquely red-shifted emission maximum at 616 nm.

DNA measurements by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and two-color fluorescence cross correlation spectroscopy.

FCS and FCCS measurements provide two important analytical parameters, the average number of molecules in the detection area and the translational diffusion constant of the molecules at the single molecule level. Considering these properties, FCS and FCCS have been applied to analysis of the cellular environment and dynamic processes of molecules in the living cell. More recently, a systematic approach for the analysis of macromolecule complex formation has focused on the new field of single molecule detection in the post-genome era. In this work, we tested the sensitivities of FCS and FCCS based on the distance between fluorophores in DNA as a model macromolecule complex. The results show that FCCS is not limited by the size of the macromolecular complex even in a very small detection area.
