The stacking interactions in 7-methylguanine-tryptophan systems, a model study for the interaction between the 'cap'
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
|September 30, 1983
Abstract:
Stacking interactions were shown by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic studies to be formed between the tryptophan and the protonated 7-methylguanine derivatives. These interactions would be in part responsible for the specific interaction between the 5'-terminal capped structure of mRNA and its binding protein.
