Massive reorganization of biomolecular structure articles

[edit]

This article was split from the article now at Nucleic acid double helix. See Talk:Nucleic acid double helix for the gory details. Antony-22 (talk) 01:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudoknot a secondary structural element?

[edit]

Isn't a pseudoknot an example of a tertiary structural motif, since it's formed by two interacting helices? In the classic pseudoknot, the hairpin loop pairs with a complementary sequence next to the hairpin stem to form a contiguous coaxially stacked helix (Kuriyan et al, Molecules of Life). This suggests we should move this section to the article Nucleic acid tertiary structure. TheBartgry (talk) 11:44, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
