title: Application of the RNA structure classification system, CSNA, to NMR structure determination.
abstract: CSNA is a computer system which classifies a set of RNA structures based on their structural characters; hydrogen bond and base-base stacking. CSNA has been applied to the RNA structure determination by NMR and it was found that CSNA could provide well converged groups as the lowest energy structures. Here, we further applied CSNA to the structure determination of a 31mer RNA forming a psuedoknot structure. It was demonstrated that CSNA is a useful tool for the RNA structure determination by NMR.
