Abstract：
:The free solution electrophoretic mobilities and thermal stabilities of hairpins formed by two complementary 26-nucleotide oligomers have been measured by capillary electrophoresis. The oligomers are predicted to form molecular beacon-like hairpins with 5 bp stems and 16 nucleotides in the loop. One hairpin, called hairpin2 (hp2), migrates with a relatively fast free solution mobility and exhibits melting temperatures that are reasonably well predicted by the popular structure-prediction program Mfold. Its complement, called hairpin1 (hp1), migrates with a slower free solution mobility and forms a stable hairpin only in solutions containing ≥200 mM Na(+). The melting temperatures observed for hp1 are ~18 °C lower than those observed for hp2 and ~20 °C lower than those predicted by Mfold. The greater thermal stability of hp2 is due to the presence of tandem GA residues on opposite sides of the loop. If the corresponding TC residues in the hp1 loop are replaced by tandem GA residues, the melting temperatures of the modified hairpin are close to those observed for hp2. Eliminating the tandem GA residues in the hp2 loop significantly decreases the thermal stability of hp2. If the loops are replaced by a loop of 16 thymine residues, the free solution mobilities and thermal stabilities of the T-loop hairpin are equal to those observed for hp1. Hence, the loop of hp1 appears to be relatively unstructured, with few base-base stacking interactions. Interactions between tandem GA residues on opposite sides of the hp2 loop appear to compact the loop and increase hairpin stability.
