Structural comparison between PAA and RNA showing potential salt-bridges between ammonium groups in the PAA and the phosphodiester backbone of the RNA (straight double-headed arrows) and potential hydrophobic or hydrogen-bonding interactions between the sidechains of the PAA (R) and the RNA (curved double-headed arrow).
