A U⋅U pair-to-U.C pair mutation-induced RNA native structure destabilisation and stretching-force-induced RNA misfolding

Little is known about how a non-Watson–Crick pair affects the RNA folding dynamics. We studied the effects of a U⋅U-to-U⋅C pair mutation on the folding of a hairpin in human telomerase RNA. The ensemble thermal melting of the hairpins shows an on-pathway intermediate with the disruption of the inter...
