“…They are classified according to their cognate ligand aptamer domain which possesses highly selective binding sites for ligands and is highly conserved among different species [ 6 ]. Their natural ligands include coenzymes (flavin mononucleotide (FMN), thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), coenzyme B12); nucleobases and their derivatives (adenine, guanine, c-di-GMP, c-di-AMP, pre-queuosine (preQ1)); cations such as Mg 2+ and Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ /Co 2+ and Na + and anions such as fluoride, amino acids and derivatives (lysine, glycine, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH)); carbohydrates (glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P)); and guanidine [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. T-box riboswitches represent a distinct class of riboswitches whose cognate ligand is the tRNA molecule, which interact through a codon–anticodon-like manner, and are involved in amino-acid metabolism [ 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”
