Predicted secondary structures
of the type 1b DNA fragment. Alternative secondary structures predicted
for type 1b DNA by mfold using constraints (A) 33,
90, 161, 173, (B) 33, 118, 125 and (C)
55, 62, 90, 173. The positions of major cleavage sites are indicated
by arrows. (D) Optimal structure of the type 1b
DNA fragment predicted by mfold. The calculated free energies for
each structure at 1 M NaCl and 37°C
are shown.
