Which factors besides the thermodynamic stability are important for the hairpin in intrinsic transcription termination?
Intrinsic termination (rho-independent) relies on a stable hairpin with a subsequent uridine repeat. The common explanation on how these sequences cause the termination of the transcription are based ...

How does the stem-loop cause intrinsic transcription termination?
In this animation, towards the end (about three quarters) the process of transcription termination is shown. It states that the transcribed RNA forms a hairpin loop (or stem-loop), which halts the ...
