Crystallographic studies of RNA hairpins in complexes with recombinant MS2 capsids: Implications for binding requirements

• The coat protein of bacteriophage MS2 is known to bind specifically to an RNA hairpin formed within the MS2 genome. Structurally this hairpin is built up by an RNA double helix interrupted by one unpaired nucleotide and closed by a four-nucleotide loop. W
