| + | X-ray crystallography is a fundamental technique that provides atomic-level insights into RNA structures. However, obtaining crystals of RNA structures diffracting to high resolution is challenging. We introduce a simple strategy to enhance the resolution limit of RNA crystals by the selective substitution of Watson-Crick pairs by GU pairs within RNA sequences. Our approach has successfully yielded high-resolution structures for eight unique RNA crystals. Notably, six instances showed marked resolution enhancement upon GC/AU to GU base pair substitution, with two cases achieving high-resolution structures from initially poor data. In one case, reverting GU to GC base pairs also improved resolution. Our method facilitated the first structural determinations of the Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 and Olfactory Receptor family 4 subfamily K member 15 ribozymes, the 2'-deoxyguanosine-III riboswitch and the Broccoli RNA aptamer. The placement of GU base pairs within the first 5' helical stem of any given RNA species, or in one peripheral stem, is shown to be sufficient. These results offer a simple and effective approach for designing sequences or selecting sequences from homologous sequences, for high-resolution RNA structure determination. | ||
