An ESI-MS method for characterization of native and modified oligonucleotides used for RNA interference and other biological applications
RNA interference (RNAi) has become a powerful tool for investigating gene function, and, in addition, shows potential for the development of therapeutic agents. RNAi can be triggered in a variety of eukaryotic cells using small interfering RNA (siRNA), their double-stranded precursors (double-stranded RNA) and short
