Effect of activator helix P4 and 3′ tail on transition state stabilization by Kin.46. Relative to the tail-less “-18” ribozyme (center), adding an unpaired 3′ tail increases the barrier to RNA-catalyzed thiophosphorylation (top), while adding both strands of P4 decreases the free energy barrier (bottom).
