Extraordinary stability of molecular sub-populations of the hairpin ribozyme. Following EMSA separation (a) of fully in vitro transcribed ribozyme into two bands, the T and B species were further separated by D-PAGE (b) into their composite RzA and RzB strands. The four samples T-RzA, T-RzB, B-RzA and B-RzB were then annealed in all four possible combinations to refold the ribozyme, and analyzed by EMSA (c). An image of the second EMSA gel is shown with the fraction of T and B species for each lane indicated to the right of the respective band.
