Abstract The current state of three‐dimensional structure analysis of RNA by x‐ray crystallograpy is summarized. The methods of sample preparation, crystallization, data collection, and structure solution are discussed, followed by a review of the RNA structures that have been determined and of common structural features, and finally, an appraisal of future prospects for x‐ray crystal structure analysis of RNA. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
