Abstract:
The data set of the crystal structure of a self-complementary RNA duplex r(ggcggucgcu)2 with terminal and tandem G x U wobble base-pairs has been collected to 2.3 A resolution. Crystals belong to the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)2(1)2; a = b = 50.0 A, c = 102.7 A, and alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees, with two duplexes in the asymmetric unit. The structural analysis using the MAD method is currently in progress.

Transfer RNA Synthesis
Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...

RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
