Two crystal structures suggested that the DNA phosphate-deoxyribose backbone is recognized by RAGE through well-defined interactions. However, the electron densities for the DNA molecules are weak enough that the presented modeling of DNA is questionable, and models only containing RAGE account for the observed diffraction data just as well as the RAGE-DNA complexes presented by the authors. The specificity of DNA recognition by the RAGE receptor.,Yatime L, Andersen GR J Exp Med. 2014 May 5;211(5):749-50. doi: 10.1084/jem.20132526. Epub 2014 Apr 28.
