Nondenaturing purification of co-transcriptionally folded RNA avoids common folding heterogeneity.

Due to the energetic frustration of RNA folding, tertiary structured RNA is typically characterized by a rugged folding free energy landscape where deep kinetic barriers separate numerous misfolded states from one or more native states. While most in vitro studies of RNA rely on (re)folding chemical...
