title: A-site model RNAs.
abstract: Oligonucleotide model systems have played a key role for the exploration of structure, dynamics and ligand binding of the ribosomal decoding-site (A site). An overview is given on the merits and limitations of various A-site models that were used for solution and crystallographic work.
