Abstract
A simple method for rapid structure screening for RNA by NMR is proposed. Target RNA is transcribed in a NMR tube and its spectra are measured without purification. The proposed method, in NMR tube transcription or INTT, was applied for three RNAs for which NMR spectra have been measured by using the conventionally purified samples. By the real-time measuring, increase of imino proton signals and decrease of NTP signals can be observed. It was confirmed that INTT spectra are in general similar to those obtained by the conventional method. INTT can be used for the first-step screening of RNA folding.
