| Abstract | The three-dimensional structures of RNA enzymes form catalytic centers that include specific substrate binding sites. High-resolution determination of these and other RNA structures is essential for a detailed understanding of the function of RNA in biological systems. The crystal structures of only a few RNA molecules are currently known. These include tRNAs, which were produced in vivo and contained modified bases, and short oligonucleotide duplexes lacking tertiary interactions. Here we report that a number of different RNA molecules of 4-50 kDa, all synthesized in vitro, have been crystallized. A highly successful method for the growth of RNA crystals based on previously reported conditions for tRNA crystallization is presented. This method is rapid and economical, typically requiring 1.1 mg of RNA to set up an experiment and 2 weeks to complete the observations. Using this technique, we have obtained crystals of 8 of 10 different RNA molecules tested, ranging in size from a dodecamer duplex to a 208-nucleotide catalytic intron. Several of these crystal forms diffract to high resolution; in one case, we have collected a 2.8-A native data set for a 160-nucleotide domain of the group I self-splicing intron from Tetrahymena thermophila. The solution of these RNA structures should reveal aspects of tertiary structure that relate to RNA function and catalytic mechanisms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
