Georgia Institute of Technology doctoral thesis, title page May2006, approval29November2005. Author Xueguang Sun; Roger M.Wartell listed as committee chair. ChaptersII–III concern Hfq structure and RNA binding; chapterIV, pp.106–130, studies a79-nucleotide RNA and dimerization. Vita,p.131, identifies his prior biophysics studies and work in Wartell’s laboratory.
Conversion of stable RNA hairpin to a metastable dimer in frozen solution by Xueguang Sun and others 2026-11-05
RNA13(12),2277–2286(2007), DOI10.1261/rna.433307. Primary byline: Xueguang Sun, J. Michael Li and Roger M. Wartell. Results, Fig.5 and low-temperature-transition discussion: dimer-to-hairpin transition did not reverse on cooling; higher-temperature hairpin unfolding was reversible. Materials and Methods, UV absorbance melting curves: Cary100,1-cm quartz cell,268nm, heating1.0°C/min and cooling0.5 or0.2°C/min. A platinum resistance probe monitored an adjacent solvent cell. Initial J. is retained exactly.
