The RNA molecules involved in both the eukaryotic small RNA regulatory and bacterial viral defense pathways often contain -- either during processing or in complex with their escort proteins -- secondary structure elements or regions of sequence not complementary to their targets. Why are these elements important, and how do they contribute to their corresponding mechanisms?
