Abstract excerpt
Stable RNAs must fold into specific three-dimensional structures to be biologically active, yet many RNAs form metastable structures that compete with the native state. Our previous time-resolved footprinting experiments showed that Azoarcus group I ribozyme forms its tertiary structure rapidly (tau < 30 ms) without becoming significantly trapped in kinetic intermediates. Here, we use stopped-flow fluorescence...
