The RNA recognition motif (RRM), also called the RNP motif and the RNA-binding domain (RBD), is the most common RNA-binding domain in hnRNP proteins. Choose important characteristics of RBD

b. To interact with the negatively charged RNA phosphates, the b sheet forms a positively charged surface

c. The 45-residue KH motif is also found in the hnRNP and several other RNA-binding proteins
