Deskripsi

Riboswitches on 5′ ends of mRNAs are important for bacterial gene regulation. Here the authors probe the mechanism of a tRNA aminoacylation sensing T-box riboswitch using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to characterize dynamic solution conformations and heterogeneous tRNA binding kinetics.
