A fascinating structure. Compact, yet, comparatively few hydrogen-bonds. So it would seem that most of the global stability of this structure stems from the stacking interactions.
And a stack (incredibly) spinning outwards and back inwards around the backbone... quite unexpected.
The 1-1 loop
Based on PDB accession 3ZEX
UUC/GCA
FRABASE fooled me again with this one. It said the C/U mismatch would be too far apart to form any hydrogen bond, but Chimera's calculations find that one is clearly possible... Well, this will be an interesting experiment. If everything goes like it did in Magic boosts, the prediction is that the Cytosine would appear somewhat protected, while the Uracil should appear largely reactive.
