Twists in a spin : RNA structural constraints have been obtained directly by exploiting the dependence of inter‐ and intranucleotide 1 H– 1 H interactions on RNA conformation through the use of 13 C MAS solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. The data provide evidence that (CUG) 97 RNA principally adopts an A‐form helix conformation with a C3′‐ endo sugar pucker and an anti glycosidic torsion angle χ (see model).
