The diversity of RNA functions demands that these molecules be capable of adopting
different conformations that will provide diverse points of contact for the selective recognition …

RNA crystal structures have provided a wealth of information on localized metal ions that are
bound to specific sites, such as the RNA deep groove, the Hoogsteen face of guanine …

Three programs have been developed to aid in the classification and visualization of RNA
structure. BPViewer provides a web interface for displaying three-dimensional (3D) …

All large structured RNAs contain hairpin motifs made of a stem closed by several looped
nucleotides. The most frequent loop motif is the UUCG one. This motif belongs to the …

The tRNA anticodon loops always comprise seven nucleotides and is involved in many
recognition processes with proteins and RNA fragments. We have investigated the nature …

In addition to the canonical base-pairs comprising the standard Watson–Crick (C: G and U:
A) and wobble U: G conformations, an analysis of the base-pair types and conformations in …

5S rRNA is an integral component of the large ribosomal subunit in all known organisms.
Despite many years of intensive study, the function of 5S rRNA in the ribosome remains …

RNA not only translates the genetic code into proteins, but also carries out important cellular
functions. Understanding such functions requires knowledge of the structure and dynamics …

The dynamics of RNA hairpin tetraloops of the GNRA type [sequence G-any ribonucleotide
(N)-purine (R)-A] was analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy and by fluorescence-detected …
