Proposed mechanism for NC-induced destabilization of cTAR. NC(11–55) preferentially recognizes G10 and G50 and initiate the destabilization of cTAR. In the presence of higher concentrations, NC(11–55) can adjust to the heterogeneous structures and dynamics to bind all along cTAR and generate the reactive species needed to anneal the complementary TAR sequence.
