DSS alters the interaction between primed RNA and reverse transcriptase. Primed RNA was incubated with or without different concentrations of DSS, and binding to the M-MuLV reverse transcriptase was determined by SPR (measured in mDeg). A) The primed RNA binds to the reverse transcriptase, deflecting the resonance angle to 42 mDeg. B-D) After incubation with 0.05 (B), 0.5 (C) or 5 (D) g/L of DSS, the primed RNA binds to the reverse transcriptase, deflecting the resonance angle to 25.6 mDeg. Δt = Δtotal.
