L and S species of Machupo virion RNA contain a mixture of complementary strands. Brief report.
RNase resistance analyses of native, heat-denatured and self-annealed L and S species of Machupo virion RNA revealed the presence of complementary sequences. Self-annealing was concentration-dependent. The data indicate, that complementary sequences were present in separate RNA strands.
