Structural variation and uniformity among tetraloop-receptor interactions and other loop-helix interactions in RNA crystal structures.

Tetraloop-receptor interactions are prevalent structural units in RNAs, and include the GAAA/11-nt and GNRA-minor groove interactions. In this study, we have compiled a set of 78 nonredundant loop-helix interactions from X-ray crystal structures, and examined them for the extent of their sequence an...
