Riboswitch RNAs regulate gene expression by conformational changes induced by environmental conditions and specific ligand binding. The guanidine-II riboswitch is proposed to bind the small molecule guanidinium and to subsequently form a kissing loop interaction between the P1 and P2 hairpins. While an interaction was shown for isolated hairpins in crystallization and EPR experiments, an intrastrand kissing loop formation has not been demonstrated. Here, we report...
