Abstract excerpt
The secondary structure of the RNA from the single-stranded RNA bacteriophages, like MS2 and Qb, has evolved to serve a variety of functions such as controlling gene expression, exposing binding sites for the replicase and capsid proteins, allowing strand separation and so forth. On the other hand, all of these foldings have to perform in bacterial cells in which various RNA splitting enzymes are present. We...
