| Method |
"[Researchers] introduce a kinetic network model that describes the functions of riboswitches at the systems level. Using experimental data for flavin mononucleotide riboswitch as a guide, [they] show that efficient function, implying a large dynamic range without compromising the requirement to suppress transcription, is determined by a balance between the transcription speed, the folding and unfolding rates of the aptamer, and the binding rates of the metabolite." |
| Comments |
"Large excess of metabolite, exceeding the equilibrium KD (~10 nM) for FMN binding to B*2, over RNA transcript is needed for the
metabolites to bind the riboswitches with sufficient speed to regulate transcription under the conditions explored in experiments (ref 9)." |
