Originally identified in the course of analyzing the [[Large Ribosomal Subunit of Haloarcula|large ribosomal subunit]]<ref name="kleinref">PMID: 11483524</ref>, this RNA structural motif was also identified in other RNAs. Particular instances have been called the GA motif <ref>PMID: 11497434</ref> | Originally identified in the course of analyzing the [[Large Ribosomal Subunit of Haloarcula|large ribosomal subunit]]<ref name="kleinref">PMID: 11483524</ref>, this RNA structural motif was also identified in other RNAs.

Many kink-turns bind proteins; however, that trait is not universal. They can mediate RNA tertiary structure interactions as well. | Many kink-turns bind proteins; however, that trait is not universal. They can mediate RNA tertiary structure interactions as well. | ||
