A ssRNA shows inverted tandem repeat. What would be its secondary structure?
A ssRNA shows inverted tandem repeat. What would be its secondary structure? Correct Answer Stem-loop structure
A tandem repeat has some bases between the palindrome regions resulting in the formation of the loop. The remaining complementary sequences of the palindrome forms the stem. In case of dsRNA similar sequence would form a crucifix while absence of intersecting sequence will form hairpin.
