Heavy atom-heavy atom distances (Å) from the X-ray crystal structure (X-ray) and from restrained and unrestrained crystal simulations of the full-length hammerhead. Standard deviations are shown in parentheses divided by the decimal precision of the average quantity, e.g., 3.31(24) means 3.31 ± 0.24. Statistics were obtained from data taken for all four monomers in the crystal unit cell over 10 ns simulation, with data sampled every 1 ps.
