Figure 7.

Thermodynamic scheme describing the Mg2+-dependent folding of DAse ribozyme. (a) Scheme involving three Mg-free states, denoted as U0, I0 and F0, and three Mg-bound states, denoted as UMg, IMg and FMg. Folding is induced by Mg2+-dependent equilibrium coefficients KI and KF. (b) Free energy diagram of the observed populations of U (U0 + UMg), I (I0 + IMg) and F (F0 + FMg) is shown for 0 and 40 mM Mg2+.
