Abstract excerpt
Human telomerase contains a 451 nt RNA (hTR) and several proteins, including a specialized reverse transcriptase (hTERT). The 5' half of hTR comprises the pseudoknot (core) domain, which includes the RNA template for telomere synthesis and a highly conserved pseudoknot that is required for telomerase activity. The solution structure of this essential pseudoknot, presented here, reveals an extended triple helix...
