The authors use a few different nucleic acid duplex parameters to understand the extent of B-form RNA structure in the 6S RNA variant structural model reported in this article. A different structural analysis based on Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) from canonical A-form and B-form single-strand structures can also address the occurrence and extent of local and global B-form structure. A short description of this analysis on the 6S RNA variant structure is posted on bioRxiv at:
