RNA structures and dynamics with Å resolution revealed by x-ray free-electron lasers

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

RNA macromolecules, like proteins, fold to assume shapes that are intimately connected to their broadly recognized biological functions; however, because of their high charge and dynamic nature, RNA structures are far more challenging to determine. We introduce an approach that exploits the high brilliance of x-ray free-electron laser sources to reveal the formation and ready identification of angstrom-scale features in structured and unstructured RNAs. Previously unrecognized structural signatures of RNA secondary and tertiary structures are identified through wide-angle solution scattering experiments. With millisecond time resolution, we observe an RNA fold from a dynamically varying single strand through a base-paired intermediate to assume a triple-helix conformation. While the backbone orchestrates the folding, the final structure is locked in by base stacking. This method may help to rapidly characterize and identify structural elements in nucleic acids in both equilibrium and time-resolved experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
