Advances in the techniques for oligosaccharide synthesis have lagged behind those for other classes of biological oligomers. For the preparation of oligopeptides and oligo- Figure 4. Autoradiograms showing the binding of hybrid 5 to 32 P-labeled DNAs. Lanes 1 ± 6: T/CRE hs , 5: 0, 7.7, 19, 38, 58, 77 nm respectively; Lanes 7 ± 11: T/CRE hs m, 5: 7.7, 19, 38, 58, 77 nm respectively; lanes 12 ± 14: CRE hs , 5: 38, 77, 154 nm respectively. Binding reactions were performed over 10 min at 4 8C using < 1 nm labeled DNAs in a binding mixture (20 mL) containing 20 mm tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (pH 7.5), 100 mm KCl, 2 mm MgCl 2 , 2 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetate, 10 % glycerol, 0.3 mg mL À1 N,O-bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 2 % NP-40. The products were resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using a 10 % nondenaturing acrylamide gel and 0.5X TBE (25 mm tris borate and 0.5 mm EDTA) buffer.
