Proposed free energy landscape of the SMK riboswitch associating with SAM. Orange trajectory: folding path of wild-type SMK RNA with SAM; Grey dotted trajectory: folding path of the G77U mutant. Proposed ON, READY, and OFF secondary structures and the first transition state are shown. Energetic differences calculated from SAM-binding KD or estimated from mutagenesis are marked.
