Kinetic characterization of stem-loop hairpin (CTG)n and (CAG)n to duplex (CTG)n/(CAG)n (n = 6–14, 25, 30) conversion for (A) n = even (B) n = odd at 37 °C. Insets show results in longer time scale. Reaction was monitored by UV absorbance at 260 nm. Each single strand was present at 2 μM in 20 mM sodium phosphate, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.0. (C) Plot of rate constant k at 37 °C as a function of repeat number.
