To determine the structural characteristics of RNA substrate binding to RNase A, X-ray crystallography was used to image inhibitory DNA tetramers bound to the enzyme. DNA lacks the 2′OH essential to RNA cleavage, making the complex more conducive to crystallography. In previous studies, has provided information into the specificity of the binding pocket subunits, B0, B1, B2 and B3.
Further binding pocket characterization was accomplished using the oglionucleotide . While binding of other nucleobases to the B2 and B3 sites is possible, the imaging of this elucidated the preference for adenosine bases. RNase A establishes in addition to hydrogen bonding between .
