RNA structure: crystal clear?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structured RNAs play an essential role in chromosome maintenance, RNA processing, protein biosynthesis, and protein transport. To understand RNA function in these diverse biological systems, the rules for RNA folding and recognition must be learned. Recent crystal structures of hammerhead ribozymes, a group I intron domain, and RNA duplexes provide new insights into the principles of RNA folding and function.

X-Ray Crystal Structure of [N, N'-bis(4-Methoxysalicylidene) -2, 3-Dimethylaminopropane] Copper(II) Ethanol Solvate
The crystal structure of the title Schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.The solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(II) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. The crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.
