Internal loop

Internal-loops (also termed interior loops) in RNA are found where the double stranded RNA separates due to no Watson-Crick-Franklin base pairing between the nucleotides. Internal-loops differ from Stem-loops as they occur in middle of a stretch of double stranded RNA. The non-canonicoal residues result in the double helix becoming distorted due to unwinding, unstacking and kinking.

Internal-loops can be classified as either symmetrical or asymmetrical, with some asymmetrical internal-loops, also known as bulges. Many important structural motifs are composed of internal loops such as the C-loop,[1] the docking-elbow,[2] kink-turns (k-turn),[3][4] the right-angle,[5] the sarcin/ricin loops (also called bulged-G motifs),[6][7][8] the twist-up motif[9] and the UAA/GAN internal loop motif.[10]
