Mechanical unfolding of long human telomeric RNA (TERRA). [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
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.
