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 p...
