Show abstract
Knowledge of site-specific dynamics of biomolecules is necessary to understand their specific functions. Solid-state NMR is a uniquely powerful technique that can provide both structural and motional information about complex biomolecules. In recent years, nucleic acids have become increasingly studied by ssNMR, but as yet few RNA or DNA structures are available, with ssNMR-derived dynamics data on RNA rarer still. Here, we report the first systematic ssNMR study of 15N T1 relaxation in RNA using straightforward nucleotide-type-specific and uniform labeling schemes. We observe clear correlation of the measured 15N T1 relaxation time-constants with different structural elements in the RNA molecule, reflecting the distinct characteristics of their underlying motions. We anticipate that this novel approach can be further developed to provide a detailed and comprehensive picture of RNA dynamics in large biomolecular machines.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
