Conformation and mechanical property of rpoS mRNA inhibitory stem studied by optical tweezers and X-ray scattering.
3' downstream inhibitory stem plays a crucial role in locking rpoS mRNA 5' untranslated region in a self-inhibitory state. Here, we used optical tweezers to study the unfolding/refolding of rpoS inhibitory stem in the absence and presence of Mg2+. We found adding Mg2+ decreased the free en...
