Recognition of the spliceosomal branch site RNA helix on the basis of surface and electrostatic features

We have investigated electrostatic and surface features of an essential region of the catalytic core of the spliceosome, the eukaryotic precursor messenger (pre-m)RNA splicing apparatus. The nucleophile for the first of two splicing reactions is the 2′-hydroxyl (OH) of the ribose of a specific adeno...
