Abstract

We present a model for the secondary structure of 16S ribosomal RNA from E. coli. This model has been deduced by restricting the total number of theoretical base pairings using the following criteria: (1) susceptibility of residues towards enzymatic probes that are specific for either paired or single stranded regions; (2) reactivity of certain residues to chemical modification; (3) evidence for medium and long range interactions; (4) comparative analysis of ribosomal RNA sequences from other organisms.
