Nanopore electric snapshots of an RNA tertiary folding pathway
While RNA folding is critical for its function, study of this process is challenging. Here, the authors combine nanopore single-molecule manipulation with theoretical analysis to follow the folding of an RNA pseudoknot, monitoring the intermediate states and the kinetics of their interconversion.
