RAPID HIGH RESOLUTION, HIGH THROUGHPUT RNA STRUCTURE, RNA-MACROMOLECULAR INTERACTION, AND RNA-SMALL MOLECULE INTERACTION MAPPING

摘要

Compositions and methods are provided for a rapid, high-resolution, high-throughput method for determining the intramolecular interactions between the nucleotides present in an polynucleotide, such that single-stranded nucleotides, and nucleotides in a double-stranded configuration are distinguished and identified. Tertiary contacts and solvent accessible regions may also be determined, where such contacts and regions may result from a single stranded configuration, intermolecular interactions with other macromolecules including, without limitation, DNA, protein, RNA, etc.; intermolecular interactions with small molecules which may include drug candidates; or a combination of macromolecules and small molecules.
