Abstract excerpt
RNAs can begin to fold immediately as they emerge from RNA polymerase. During cotranscriptional folding, interactions between nascent RNAs and ligands are able to direct the formation of alternative RNA structures, a feature exploited by noncoding RNAs called riboswitches to make gene-regulatory decisions. Despite their importance, cotranscriptional folding pathways have yet to be uncovered with sufficient...
