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. | ||
An excellent introduction can be found [http://www.dundee.ac.uk/biocentre/nasg/kturn/index.php here as part of a structural database for k-turn motifs in RNA by the Lilley group]<ref name="lilleydatabase">PMID: 20562215</ref>. | An excellent introduction can be found [http://www.dundee.ac.uk/biocentre/nasg/kturn/index.php here as part of a structural database for k-turn motifs in RNA by the Lilley group]<ref name="lilleydatabase">PMID: 20562215</ref>. | ||
Kink-turns fall into two conformational classes, called N3 and N1. The classes differ in the pattern of hydrogen bonding in the core, and that pattern is determined by the basepair adjacent to the G•A pairs<ref name="classdeterm">PMID: 27016741</ref>. | |||
