Abstract
NMR spectra of the non-exchangeable protons in 5S RNA from E. coli show the existence of two distinct conformers of the molecule which meet the operational definition of "A form" or native 5S RNA. Both are easily distinguished spectroscopically from denatured, "B form" 5S RNA. The conditions which interconvert the two A form conformers strongly suggest that the transition between them gives rise to the low temperature optical melting transition first reported in 5S RNA by Kao and Crothers (1).Entities:
