Abstract excerpt
Natural RNAs often contain terminal loops consisting of GNRA (N=A, G, C, U; R=A, G) and their receptors, which bind to the loops via long-range RNA-RNA interactions. Among several known receptors, two characteristic structural elements have been identified that are termed the 11-nt motif (CCUAAG-UAUGG) and IC3 motif (CCCUAAC-GAGGG). These two motifs that share a similar secondary structure have been shown to...
