Abstract excerpt
Mechanical unfolding studies on Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) structures are a subject of tremendous interest as they shed light on the principles of higher order assembly of these structures. Pseudoknotting is one of the most elementary ways in which this higher order assembly is achieved as discrete secondary structural units in RNA are brought in close proximity to form a tertiary structure. Using steered molecular...
