Abstract

We describe a novel methylation-sensitive nucleic acid (RNA) probe which switches conformation according to its methylation status. When combined with a differential scanning fluorimetry technique, it enables highly sensitive and selective detection of demethylase activity at a single methylated-base level. The approach is highly versatile and may be adapted to a broad range of RNA demethylases.
