Single-Molecule Measurements of the Persistence Length of Double-Stranded RNA
Open accessAbstract
Over the past few years, it has become increasingly apparent that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) plays a far greater role in the life cycle of a cell than previously expected. Numerous proteins, including helicases, polymerases, and nucleases interact specifically with the double helix of dsRNA. To understand the detailed nature of these dsRNA-protein interactions, the (bio)chemical, electrostatic, and mechanical properties of dsRNA need to be fully characterized. We present measurements of the persistence length of dsRNA using two different single-molecule techniques: magnetic tweezers and atomic force microscopy. We deduce a mean persistence length for long dsRNA molecules of 63.8 +/- 0.7 nm from force-extension measurements with the magnetic tweezers. We present atomic force microscopy images of dsRNA and demonstrate a new method for analyzing these, which yields an independent, yet consistent value of 62 +/- 2 nm for the persistence length. The introduction of these single-molecule techniques for dsRNA analysis opens the way for real-time, quantitative analysis of dsRNA-protein interactions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
