Structural and Mechanistic Studies on the Interactions between S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and the SAM-I Riboswitch

The chemical and physical properties of RNAs create a diverse functional portfolio to influence the functional outcomes of genomes. One scheme is to recognize cognate small molecule metabolites and to adopt distinct conformations to adjust the gene expression. Segments of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that...
