Abstract excerpt
RNAs somehow adopt specific functional structures despite the capacity to form alternative nonfunctional structures with similar stabilities. We analyzed RNA assembly during transcription in vitro and in yeast using hairpin ribozyme self-cleavage to assess partitioning between functional ribozyme structures and nonfunctional stem loops. Complementary insertions located upstream of the ribozyme inhibited ribozyme...
