Certainly I found in by early years of learning proteins were fixed blobby models that stayed awkwardly in form. I'm having to ditch that mindset fairly rapidly, as see them more as moving things. I blame microscopy :) It completely removes most of the dimensions (although obviously it's still very useful). Looking at things four dimentionally does not just apply to RNA, but proteins as well.

Perhaps AJ Cann at Microbiology Bytes knows more than I. (just follow the link). As far as I know, only the 2d structure has been explored, at least for now.

Has the 3-dimensional structure of HIV RNA been proposed somewhere? I don't suppose you would have a link? Just curious. This is not quite my field.
