Abstract:
Despite recent advances in the solution of NMR structures of RNA and RNA-ligand complexes, the rate limiting step remains the gathering of a large number of NOE and torsion restraints. Additional sources of information for structure determination of larger RNA molecules have recently become available, and it is possible to supplement NOE and J-coupling data with the measurement of dipolar couplings and cross-correlated relaxation rates in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy.

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.
