Figure 3.

CAA Interrupts near the loop can stabilize (CAG)15 strand-slipping transitions. (A) Schematics of possible folding configurations and smFRET results for (CAG)15 and several CAA interrupted (CAG)15 TR hairpins. Sequences are indicated at the top of the diagram. Slip designation and observed populations are indicated along the lower edge. Results of (CAG)15 experiment from Figure 2 are listed for comparison. (BD) Histograms of smFRET measurements for the hairpins diagramed in (A). (E) Representative time traces (upper panels, donor signal in blue, acceptor signal in red) and calculated FRET values (lower panels, black) for the (CAG)15 and the CAA interrupted (CAG)15 TR hairpins.
