ANSWERS.
Briefly describe how non-covalent interactions contribute to the
3D shapes and structures of RNA molecules. - correct answer-
Non-covalent interactions contribute to the 3D shape and
structures of RNA molecules by allowing RNA to fold on itself
via hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs.
Nucleotides interact with complementary resides to produce a
secondary structure.
