"RNA - ligand interactions:(I) magnesium binding sites in yeast tRNA Phe." Nucleic Acids Research 4, no. 8 (1977): 2811-2820. DOI: 10.1093/nar/4.8.28110305-10481362-4962https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37371393X-ray crystallagraphic studies studies indicate that there are at least four site-specifically bound hydrated Mg2+ ions, [Mg(H2O)n]2+, in yeast tRNAPhe. The size and the octahedral coordination geometry, rather than the charge, of [Mg(H2O)N]2+ appear to be the primary reasons for the specificity of magnesium ions in site-binding and in the stabilization of the tertiary structure of tRNA.en-USGeneticsJournal Article2017-08-1719772022-04-2010.1093/nar/4.8.2811
