Mechanical Unfolding of Long Human Telomeric RNA (TERRA). Arias-Gonzalez, J. R., Garavís, Miguel, Bocanegra, R., Herrero-Galán, E., Villasante, A., Gonzalez, C., & González, C. Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 49(57):6397–6399, June, 2013.

We report the first single molecule investigation of TERRA molecules. By using optical-tweezers and other biophysical techniques, we have found that long RNA constructions of up to 25 GGGUUA repeats form higher order structures comprised of single parallel G-quadruplex blocks, which unfold at lower forces than their DNA counterparts.
