  • Analysis of single-stranded RNA
    Patent number: 11008605
    Abstract: Provided is a method for modifying a ssRNA at the 3? end, the method including contacting the strand with a ssRNA 2?-O-methyltransferase in the presence of a co-factor, under conditions which allow for the transfer by the ssRNA 2?-O-methyltransferase of a part of the co-factor onto the 3? end of the ssRNA to form a modified ssRNA, wherein the ssRNA bears 2?-OH group at 3? terminal nucleotide and wherein the part of the co-factor transferred includes a reporter group or a functional group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 18, 2021
    Assignee: Vilnius University
    Inventors: Saulius Klimasauskas, Giedrius Vilkaitis, Milda Mickute

  • ANALYSIS OF SMALL RNA
    Publication number: 20150259725
    Abstract: A method for modifying a strand of RNA at the 3? end, includes contacting the strand with a RNA 2?-O-methyltransferase in the presence of a co-factor, under conditions which allow for the transfer by the RNA 2?-O-methyltransferase of a part of the co-factor onto the 3? end of the RNA strand to form a modified RNA strand, wherein the strand of RNA is included in a duplex, and wherein the part of the co-factor transferred includes a reporter group or a functional group.
