Stepwise ncRNA folding versus mRNA folding. RNA has a propensity to fold into secondary structures rapidly forming a “molten globule” state. Functional ncRNAs which have defined tertiary interactions, enable further compaction into specific structures. In contrast, mRNA lacking defined tertiary interactions stays in a “molten globule” state.
