RNA oligomers with the sequence AJJ-G-Urn, n = 7-9, m = 5-10, have been synthesized and found to form hairpin loops in 21 mM or 101 mM Na+. The hairpin loops displayed melting temperatures 13'-29'C greater than that of the hairpin loop AsCs-U6 in the same solvent. The increased stability of these ha
