Solution structure (NMR) of malachite green RNA aptamer: (a) shows malachite green ligand bound to RNA aptamer backbone, (b) shows residues involved in malachite stacking, and (c) shows ball and stick model of RNA residues involved in malachite stacking interaction (yellow colour ring structure represents malachite green as ligand), adapted from Flinders et al. [59].
