Abstract excerpt
The free energy landscape for the folding of large, multidomain RNAs is rugged, and kinetically trapped, misfolded intermediates are a hallmark of RNA folding reactions. Here, we examine the role of a native loop-receptor interaction in determining the ruggedness of the energy landscape for folding of the Tetrahymena ribozyme. We demonstrate a progressive smoothing of the energy landscape for ribozyme folding as...
