Abstract

The Watson-Crick double helix of DNA was first revealed in 1953. Since then a wide range of physical chemical methods have been applied to DNA and to its more versatile relative RNA to determine their structures and functions. My major goal is to predict the folded structure of any RNA from its sequence. We have used bulk and single-molecule measurements of thermodynamics and kinetics, plus various spectroscopic methods (UV absorption, optical rotation, circular dichroism, circular intensity differential scattering, fluorescence, NMR) to approach this goal.

The referees kept the manuscript about two months and then made only minor suggestions.

EMBO J. 14:842–52 There was some discussion about whether the first author should be from my lab or Varmus' lab. The compromise was that the first two authors have asterisks with the statement that both contributed equally to the work. I thought that Varmus and I should also have asterisks so we could equally share the desirable last position [Google Scholar]
