“…Many regulatory RNAs (Storz, 2002; Serganov et al, 2007; Cech et al, 2014) undergo conformational changes that play essential roles in their biological functions (Mandal et al, 2004; Tucker et al, 2005; Schwalbe et al, 2007; Cruz et al, 2009; Rinnenthal et al, 2011; Dethoff, Chugh, et al, 2012). Among many functionally important motional modes, changes in RNA secondary structure can expose or sequester key regulatory elements, and thereby provide the basis for molecular switches that regulate and control a wide range of biochemical processes (Serganov & Patel, 2007; Breaker, 2011; Dethoff, Chugh, et al, 2012).…”
