Investigation of the role of metal ions and non-canonical base pairs on the structure and stability of RNA pseudoknots /

The energetics governing the formation of RNA pseudoknots are poorly understood, especially the contributions derived from the presence of non-canonical base pairs between pseudoknot loops and helical stems. Investigation of the thermodynamics of the unfolding of model pseudoknot systems provides a...
