title: Bridged cyclic oligoribonucleotides--towards models for codon-anticodon pairing.
abstract: Only three base pairs make up for stable double helices of regular A-type if both helix ends are bridged by flexible non-nucleotide linkers. These cyclic oligoribonucleotides are used as model systems for codon-anticodon pairing in order to reveal base stacking effects arising from structurally relevant bases in the direct neighbourhood of the core triplet duplex.
