... the other seven vRNAs. To gain insights into the possible roles of RNA structure both within and without virions, a secondary structure model of a naked (protein-free) segment 7 vRNA (vRNA7) has been determined using chemical mapping and thermodynamic energy minimization. The proposed structure model...

.... Arabidopsis thaliana ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA-MUTATED AND RAD3-RELATED (ATR) guanine quadruplex structure (GQS) RNA structure translation 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) RNA was prepared to a concentration of 1–5 μM in 10 mM LiCac (pH 7.0) as described previously [ 15 ]. Samples were renatured...

...Marta Magdalena Gabryelska; Eliza Wyszko; Maciej Szymański; Mariusz Popenda; Jan Barciszewski Hammerhead ribozyme is a versatile tool for down-regulation of gene expression in vivo . Owing to its small size and high activity, it is used as a model for RNA structure–function relationship studies...
