Absence of correlation between base-pair sequence and RNA conformation

Science. 1981 Jun 12;212(4500):1275-7. doi: 10.1126/science.6165084.

Abstract

A survey of all available double-stranded RNA crystal structures shows that there is a considerable range of variation in local conformation of a given base-pair doublet, but that there is no significant correlation between base-pair sequence and RNA local conformation.
