Abstract excerpt
From site-directed mutagenesis of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) it had been concluded earlier that the formation of a thermodynamically metastable structure containing hairpin II (HP II) is critical for infectivity. In order to differentiate between structural and sequence effects, in the present work base pairs in HP II were exchanged by site-directed double mutations without significant alterations in the...
