The density plots and the predicted structures for the 67-nt 5′ VMV pseudoknot at different temperatures. Stem S1 is the most stable stem, which is the last one to be unzipped. At T = 37°C, our predicted structure shows the highest SE = 1.0 and SP = 1.0 as tested against the experimental structure (Pennell et al. 2008).
