Results for the mRNA containing the downstream secondary structure (with P _E = 0.5). (a) The time distribution of the low FRET efficiency, with the black line representing the theoretical data [∝f _low (t)] calculated with Eq. (2) and the smFRET data (columns) being taken from the bottom panel of Figure S7A in Kim et al. [11]. (b) The time distribution of the last high FRET efficiency, with the black line representing the theoretical data [∝f _last (t)] calculated with Eq. (3) and the smFRET data (columns) being taken from the right panel of Figure two F in Kim et al. [11]. (c) The time distribution of the high FRET efficiency, with the black line representing the theoretical data [∝f _H (t)] calculated with Eq. (6) and the smFRET data (columns) being taken from the bottom panel of Figure S7B in Kim et al. [11]. (d) The distribution of the number (N) of transitions to the high FRET efficiency per trace before the disappearance of the FRET efficiency, with the black line representing the theoretical data [∝f(N)] calculated with Eq. (7) and the smFRET data (columns) being taken from the bottom panel of Figure S7C in Kim et al. [11].
