Fig. 1From: Prediction of solution properties and dynamics of RNAs by means of Brownian dynamics simulation of coarse-grained models: Ribosomal 5S RNA and phenylalanine transfer RNASecondary structure of RNAs. a Sketch of the secondary structure of yeast tRNA phe [45] (note the presence of four helices, three loops and a hinge). b Sketch of the secondary structure of the 5S rRNA [20] (note the presence of five double helices, four loops, and a hinge). In each case nucleotides are the black points, double helices are the regions with connections between opposite nucleotides and loops are the “circular” regions without connections between opposite nucleotidesBack to article page
