Abstract excerpt
Eggplant latent viroid (ELVd) can form stable hammerhead structures in its (+) and (-) strands. These ribozymes have the longest helices I reported in natural hammerheads, with that of the ELVd (+) hammerhead being particularly stable (5/7 bp are G-C). Moreover, the trinucleotide preceding the se...
