In Lori Passmore’s group they study how different protein factors and RNA sequences affect the activity of highly conserved deadenylase enzymes. This image for day 163 of #LMB365 from Terence Tang shows a two-colour in vitro enzymatic assay in which purified enzyme is mixed with two differently labelled RNA substrates (red & blue) to observe any relative differences in nuclease activity.
