Accurate energies of hydrogen bonded nucleic acid base pairs and triplets in tRNA tertiary interactions

Tertiary interactions are crucial in maintaining the tRNA structure and functionality. We used a combined sequence analysis and quantum mechanics approach to calculate accurate energies of the most frequent tRNA tertiary base pairing interactions. Our analysis indicates that six out of the nine clas...
