Abstract:
The current state of three-dimensional structure analysis of RNA by x-ray crystallography is summarized. The methods of sample preparation, crystallization, data collection, and structure solution are discussed, followed by a review of the RNA structures that have been determined and of common structural features, and finally, an appraisal of future prospects for x-ray crystal structure analysis of RNA.
