RNA G-quadruplexes are globally unfolded in eukaryotic cells and depleted in bacteria

INTRODUCTION: Many cellular RNAs contain regions that fold into stable structures required for function. Both Watson−Crick and noncanonical interactions can play important roles in forming these structures. An intriguing noncanonical structure is the RNA G-quadruplex (RG4), a four-stranded structure...
