How do the unusual bases of the loops in tRNA influence tRNA structure?

a. They disrupt hydrophobic interactions in the loop regions causing the loops to form.

b. They bind to proteins that hold the loops open.

c. They disrupt H bond formation which causes complementary pairing in the stem regions.

d. They prevent van der Waals interactions which prevents loop formation.

e. They disrupt H bond formation in the loop regions causing the loops to form
