Magnesium ions added to tRNAIMRTi selec-tively stabilize the dihydrouridine helix-tertiary structural region. Low Mg2+ levels have little direct effect on the re-maining three cloverleaf helices, but these are prevented from melting independently when their intrinsic Tm is sur-passed by the Tm of the tertiary structure. At high Mg2+ concentration the thermal unfolding of tRNA, Meli is ap-proximately a two-state, concerted transition from the globular native structure to the random coil, in contrast to the sequential unfolding observed without Mg2+. We interpret
