1SDR - PubMed Abstract: 
The synthetic dodecameric RNA fragment rUAAGGAGGUGAU resembles a region upstream of the initiation site in prokaryotic mRNAs whereas the pyrimidine-rich complementary strand is identical to the last 12 nucleotides of Escherichia coli 16 S rRNA. The complex thus serves as a model for the Shine-Dalgarno interaction which is required for proper initiation of translation ...
