RNA folding: pseudoknots, loops and bulges.
Bioessays. 1989; (4): 100-6
The three-dimensional structures adopted by RNA molecules are crucial to their biological functions. The nucleotides of an RNA molecule interact to form characteristic secondary-structure motifs. Tertiary interactions orient these secondary-structure elements with respect to each other to form the functional RNA. Here we describe the basic structural elements with special emphasis on a novel tertiary motif, the pseudoknot.
