Abstract
The catalog of oligomers produced by ribonuclease T1 digestion ofEscherichi coli 16S ribosomal RNA has been determined by a new method that involves the use of ribonuclease U2 fromUstilago sphaerogena. The sequences for the larger T1 oligomers (8 or more bases) determined in this way differ in more than 50 % of the cases from those reported previously (determined by other methods).
