【Significance】
Observation of NMR signals of nucleic acids in living human cells

Inside a living cell, where nucleic acids exist, is highly crowded with biological macromolecules. The nucleic acids inside the cells have been thought to possess different structural features from those in vitro. To investigate those features of nucleic acids in living cells, the in-cell NMR method is a powerful tool. We have successfully expanded the in-cell NMR method for nucleic acids used for Xenopus laevis oocytes to human cells. We performed the first measurements of in-cell NMR spectra of nucleic acids forming hairpin structures in living human cells.
