Abstract excerpt
The structures of four different RNA pseudoknots that provide one of the signals required for ribosomal frameshifting in mouse mammary tumor virus have been determined by NMR. The RNA pseudoknots have similar sequences and assume similar secondary structures, but show significantly different frameshifting efficiencies. The three-dimensional structures of one frameshifting and one non-frameshifting RNA pseudoknot...
