The RNA recognition motif (RRM) binds to single-stranded RNA target sites of diverse sequences and structures. A conserved mode of base recognition by the RRM involves the simultaneous formation of a network of hydrogen bonds with the base functional groups and a stacking interaction between the base and a highly conserved aromatic amino acid. We have investigated the energetic contribution of the functional...
