Predicting 3D structure and stability of RNA pseudoknots in monovalent and divalent ion solutions
Fig 4
The comparisons between predictions (lines) and experiments (symbols) for six RNA pseudoknots with various sequences at high salt concentrations.
(a) MMTV pseudoknot at 1000mM [K+] [75]; (b) T2 pseudoknot at 1000mM [K+] [77]; (c) PEMV-1 pseudoknot at 500mM [K+] [73]; (d) BWYV pseudoknot at 500mM [K+] [54,72]; (e) PLRV pseudoknot at 500mM [K+] [73]; and (f) ScYLV pseudoknot at 500mM [K+] [74]. Lines: df/dT, the first derivative of f with the temperature. Symbols: the heat capacity Cp or dA/dT, the first derivative of absorbance with respect to temperature.
