Terbium(III) cleavage reactions on folded U6/U2 complexes. Lane marked control does not contain Terbium (Tb+++). The concentration of the added terbium(III) in micromolars is indicated above each lane. The location of unreacted U6/U2 and the position of several residues in U6 is shown to the right.
