| | RNA Secondary Structure Prediction (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | It is in the major groove that the chemical groups are sequence-specific and dependent on base identity, and therefore, this is where proteins tend to bind a DNA double helix. |
 | | The triplet in the above example means that the bases "C C G", number 10, 11 and 12, base pair with the bases "C G G", bases number 17, 18 and 19. |
 | | For this to happen, it would require that if a G mutated to an A, then the opposing C in the base pair would mutate to a U. These regions are found by aligning related RNA sequences, and applying an algorithm that looks for these sorts of paired mutations in predicted stem regions. |
