The prediction of RNA three-dimensional structure from sequence alone has been a long-standing goal. High-resolution, experimentally determined structures of simple noncanonical pairings and motifs are critical to the development of prediction programs. Here, we present the nuclear magnetic resonance structure of the (5'CCAGAAACGGAUGGA) 2 duplex, which contains an 8 × 8 nucleotide internal loop flanked by three Watson-Crick pairs on each side. The loop is comprised of a central 5'AC/3'CA nearest neighbor flanked by two 3RRs motifs, a known stable motif consisting of three consecutive sheared GA pairs. Hydrogen bonding patterns between base pairs in the loop, the all-atom root-mean-square deviation for the loop, and the deformation index were used to compare the structure to automated predictions by MC-sym, RNA FARFAR, and RNAComposer.
