Fig. 2From: Degeneracy and genetic assimilation in RNA evolutionThe two stable folded structures of the degenerate cIII mRNA belonging to the bacteriophage λ [39]. The left and the right structures have free energies are computed to be − 19.6 kc/mol and −18.1 kc/mol respectively [39]. The difference in the free energies may be due to ignoring tertiary bonds by the energy model [39]Back to article page
