Mechanical Unfolding of the Beet Western Yellow Virus -1 Frameshift Signal

Mechanical unfolding of -1 frameshift signals such as RNA pseudoknots have aimed to test the hypothesis that the stability of the pseudoknot is directly correlated to the frameshifting efficiency. Here we report unfolding of the Beet Western Yellow Virus (BWYV) pseudoknot by optical tweezers experi...
