A'-FORM RNA DOUBLE HELIX IN THE SINGLE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF R(UGAGCUUCGGCUC)

Overview

Here we demonstrate the presence of the A'-RNA conformation using the, single crystal structure of a tridecamer: r(UGAGCUUCGGCUC). The average, A'-RNA conformation deduced from X-ray fiber diffraction data had only, been available previously, but now the presence of the A'-RNA conformation, has been found in a single crystal structure for the first time., Statistical analysis showed that the A'-RNA conformation is, distinguishable from the A-RNA conformation in a plot of the major groove, width against the base pair inclination angle. The major groove of the, A'-RNA conformation is wide enough to accommodate a protein or peptide, while that of the A-RNA conformation is too narrow to do so. The presence, of the A'-RNA conformation is significant for protein-RNA interaction.
