Location of free folding energy in codons. Free folding energies (FFE) were determined in phase-selected subsequences of 31 different protein-coding nucleic acids. The original intact RNA contained the intact three-letter codons (123). Subsequences were constructed by periodical removal of one letter from the codon while maintaining the other two (12, 13, 23) or removing two letters and maintaining only one (1, 2, 3). The lines indicate individual values (left), while the bars (right) indicate the mean ± SEM (n = 31).
