Hi,

I´m looking for the chemical principle behind denaturating formaldehyde gel
electrophoresis (agarose gels for RNA identification). Does anyone know, how
exactly the formaldehyde interacts with RNA or where the denaturating effect
comes from? A link to tech. lit (primary literature) would be best!

Thanks
