RNA Secondary Structure Visualization - Stem-Loop Folding Patterns #1664394 (License: Personal Use)

This composite image displays three distinct RNA secondary structures, each forming characteristic stem-loop (hairpin) motifs. Nucleotide sequences (A, U, G, C) are labeled along the backbone, with complementary base pairs (e.g., A-U, G-C) forming double-stranded stems, while unpaired regions create loops. Color gradients reflect thermodynamic stability or prediction confidence in computational folding models.

Used in molecular biology education, bioinformatics tools, and research publications to illustrate RNA folding predictions (e.g., from Mfold or RNAfold). Targets students, researchers, and clinicians seeking to understand non-coding RNA function, riboswitches, or miRNA precursors.
