Abstract excerpt
Bas?e-pairing between the terminal loops of helices P2.1 and P9.1a (P13) and P2 and P5c (P14) stabilize the folded structure of the Tetrahymena group I intron. Using native gel electrophoresis to analyze the folding kinetics of a natural pre-RNA containing the Tetrahymena intron, we show that P13 and P14 are the only native loop-loop interactions among six possible combinations. Other base-pairing interactions of...
