Abstract excerpt
Proteins with RNA chaperone activity are able to promote folding of RNA molecules by loosening their structure. This RNA unfolding activity is beneficial when resolving misfolded RNA conformations, but could be detrimental to RNAs with low thermodynamic stability. In order to test this idea, we constructed various RNAs with different structural stabilities derived from the thymidylate synthase (td) group I intron...
