The X-ray Structures of Six Octameric RNA Duplexes in the Presence of Different Di- and Trivalent Cations
Due to the polyanionic nature of RNA, the principles of charge neutralization and electrostatic condensation require that cations help to overcome the repulsive forces in order for RNA to adopt a three-dimensional structure. A precise structural knowledge of RNA-metal ion interactions is crucial to...
