• Distance constraints were divided into the following four reions: (i)1.8–3.0 Å (strong volumes), (ii) 1.8–4.0 Å (medium), (iii) 1.8–5.0 Å (weak) and (iv) 1.8–7.0 Å (very weak volumes). The volume for the H5-H6 crosspeak of C9 at each mixing time was used as reference volume with a corresponding distance of 2.46 Å

• Additional distance constraints: 20 hydrogen bond constraints for the seven basepairs in the stem, 12 distance constraints involving the H1-H1′ crosspeaks (see Fig. 1) in the stem, six planarity constraints to ensure planarity of the basepairs, and 122 dihedral constraints (α, β, γ, ε, ζ, χ and V0-V4) to keep the stem nucleotides in an A-RNA conformation

• All AMBER calculations were performed in vacuo with a constant dielectric of 4.0 (ε=4.0) and infinite non–bonded cutoffs. Shake17 was used for bonds involving hydrogen atoms and the time step was 1 fs for all MDs. The Berendsen algorithm18 was used to control the temperature with τ=0.2 ps
