A functional pseudoknot in 16S ribosomal RNA.

The EMBO journal - 1 Aug 1991

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence indicate that the universally conserved 530 loop of 16S ribosomal RNA plays a crucial role in translation, related to the binding of tRNA to the ribosomal A site. Based upon limited phylogenetic sequence variation, Woese and Gutell (1989) have proposed that residues 524-...
