Hi,
okay on the otherhand the conformation formed , the different structure for
one different base , is temperature dependent. So by lowering the
temperature of the SSCP electrophoresis a secundary structure that is
different enough may become stabel. Don't give up too soon , try higher or
lower temp.
enjoy your research
