Complex Conformational Dynamics of the Heart Failure-Associated Pre-miRNA-377 Hairpin Revealed by Single-Molecule Optical Tweezers

Pre-miRNA-377 is a hairpin-shaped regulatory RNA associated with heart failure. Here, we use single-molecule optical tweezers to unzip pre-miRNA-377 and study its stability and dynamics. We show that magnesium ions have a strong stabilizing effect, and that sodium ions stabilize the hairpin more tha...
