Assessment of three-dimensional RNA structure prediction in CASP15 (2023, neutral): “3,4 However, it took more than 10 years before the first refined experimental structures of the 76 nucleotide yeast tRNA Phe were published.”
An RNA-centric historical narrative around the Protein Data Bank (2021, background): “Along time, the following RNA models are highlighted: (1) the anticodon loop (138); (2) the Levitt tRNA (141); (3) the pseudoknot fold (143); (4) the Kim & Cech core of group I intron (144); (5) the tRNA-like in TYMV (245); (6) the GNRA loop in 5S rRNA (246); (7) the Michel & Westhof core of group I”
The Comparative RNA Web (CRW) Site: an online database of comparative sequence and structure information for ribosomal, intron, and other RNAs (2002, methodology): “All of the secondary structure base pairs and a few of the tertiary structure base pairs predicted with covariation analysis [5–9,71–74] are present in the tRNA crystal structure [10,11].”
RNA-Puzzles toolkit: a computational resource of RNA 3D structure benchmark datasets, structure manipulation, and evaluation tools (2019, background): “RNA 3D structure prediction, which dates back to the late 1960s (1), is nowadays being widely studied with the help of computer science.”
RNA-Puzzles Round II: assessment of RNA structure prediction programs applied to three large RNA structures (2015, background): “Except in some cases (Levitt 1969; Michel and Westhof 1990), RNA 3D structure prediction has historically lagged behind protein structure prediction, although RNA Watson–Crick pairing (secondary structure) is simpler to predict than, for example, β−sheet pairings in proteins.”
3D RNA and Functional Interactions from Evolutionary Couplings. (2015, unknown): “This approach was used to define the 1969 Levitt model of tRNA (Levitt, 1969), the Fox-Woese model of 5S rRNA (Fox and Woese, 1975) and the Michel-Westhof model of a group 1 ribozyme (Michel and Westhof, 1990).”
