title: Non-Watson-Crick base pairs in RNA-protein recognition.
abstract: The cellular functions of most RNA molecules involve protein binding, and non-Watson-Crick base pairs are hallmark sites for interactions with proteins. The determination of three-dimensional structures of RNA-peptide and RNA-protein complexes reveals the molecular basis of non-Watson-Crick base-pair recognition.
