Abstract excerpt
The equilibrium distributions of hairpin ribozyme conformational isomers have been examined by time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Ribozymes partition between active (docked) and inactive (extended) conformers, characterized by unique interdomain distance distributions, which define differences in folding free energy. The active tertiary structure is stabilized both by specific interactions...
