Abstract excerpt
Experimental and theoretical thermodynamic studies of the consequences of 2'-hydroxyl substitution in the RNA UUCG tetraloop show distinct position dependence consistent with the diverse structural contexts of the four-loop ribose hydroxyls in this motif. The results suggest that even for simple substitutions, such as the replacement of the ribose hydroxyl (2'-OH) with hydrogen (2'-H), the free energy change...
