“…They formed structures with two, three, two, four and one stem-loops, and these had free energies of AG -3.5, -3.2, -3.1, -3-5 and -5.5 kJ/mol, respectively (Zuker & Steigler, 1981). However it has been reported previously that this region of the OYMV genome might form two stem-loops with such similar sequences that they may have arisen by duplication (Ding et al, 1989). The two stem-loops of ELV may also have a similar history as the base-paired parts of the first loop (nucleotides 17 to 45) and the second loop (nucleotides 52 to 106) have similar sequences.…”
