Question
Which of the following regarding RNA secondary and tertiary structure is false?
Coaxial stacking is the alignment of two helices separated by a broken backbone, and
stabilized by pi-stacking between the terminal base pairs of the stacked helices
The hairpin loop is stabilized only by pi-stacking, and is critical for t-RNA in order to display
the anticodon bases
RNA secondary structure is derived from base pairing interactions, not backbone interactions
A pseudoknot is a type of coaxial stack between two discontinuous helices derived from
ssRNA-ssRNA interactions
A-minor motifs involve a ssRNA-dsRNA interaction where the polyA chain interacts with the
minor groove of the dsRNA helix
