Processing of insect retrotransposons by self-cleaving ribozymes [PDF]
We show that several classes of insect non-LTR retrotransposons harbor self-cleaving ribozymes of the HDV family at their 5′ termini. In Drosophila the R2 ribozymes exhibit highly differential in vivo expression and robust in vitro activity ...

Distribution of graph-distances in Boltzmann ensembles of RNA secondary structures [PDF]
Large RNA molecules often carry multiple functional domains whose spatial arrangement is an important determinant of their function. Pre-mRNA splicing, furthermore, relies on the spatial proximity of the splice junctions that can be separated by very ...

Translation‐Promoting Effects of RNA Template Overhangs in the Absence of Ribosomes
Ribosome‐free translation of an RNA sequence into a peptide sequence can be controlled by the folding of the template strand. Overhang sequences forming a triplex structure with the templating region and the peptidoyl RNA in pH‐dependent manner increase yields up to 40‐fold through entropic effects and mixed anhydride formation, allowing for controlled,

Mini‐Hairpin DNA: Extraordinarily Stable Structure and Its Applications
Mini‐hairpin DNA fragments containing GCGAAGC and GCGAAAGC form exceptionally stable hairpin‐like structures, with only two G−C pairs and one sheared G−A pair, remaining undenatured in 7 M urea and resisting nuclease digestion. These mini‐hairpin sequences frequently appear in replication and transcription origins, influence DNA sequencing fidelity ...
