. RNA 1 is responsible for encoding the viral replicase protein P1. This family is required for negative strand
RNA synthesis in in the alfalfa mosaic virus and may also be involved in positive strand RNA synthesis.
Stem-loop
Stem-loop intramolecular base pairing is a pattern that can occur in single-stranded DNA or, more commonly, in RNA. The structure is also known as a hairpin or hairpin loop. It occurs when two regions of the same strand, usually complementary in nucleotide sequence when read in opposite directions,...
