Meanings of tertiary interactions in English

Thus, tertiary interactions between helices bias the ensemble of secondary structures toward native-like conformations.

Despite the observed substantial dynamics of K-turns, key tertiary interactions are stable and no sign of unfolding is seen.

A classification of the well-characterized tertiary interactions found in the larger RNA structures is also included along with examples.

We hypothesize that long range tertiary interactions in the VEGF mRNA regulate IRES activity and thus control start codon selection.

RNA pseudoknots are examples of minimal structural motifs in RNA with tertiary interactions that stabilize the structures of many ribozymes.

Together, these findings indicate that unpaired flanking nucleotides play essential roles in the formation of otherwise unstable two-base-pair RNA tertiary interactions.

New tertiary interactions involving base pairs between nucleotides of the 5' terminus and a large internal loop forming a pseudoknot fold were identified.
