Predicted structures of wild-type and modified hairpins of hsa-mir-145, hsa-mir-137, hsa-mir-9-1, and hsa-mir-200b, demonstrating canonical “mismatched” and “rigid” miRNA hairpins. Entropy curves of the nucleotide sequence, starting at the 5′ end, indicate stability changes being local to the changed regions.
