Summary
A
Stem-loop Structure
is a common
Secondary Structure
in
Single-stranded nucleic acids
, such as
RNA and DNA
, where a
Sequence of nucleotides
forms a
Double Helix
('stem') followed by a
Loop of unpaired nucleotides
. This structure plays a crucial role in various
Biological Processes
, including
Gene Expression Regulation
,
RNA Stability
, and the
Interaction with proteins
and other molecules.
