Seminars:

Exploring the Undiscovered Country of RNA Drug Targets: Finding Bioactive Ligands Against Xist RNA with Affinity-Selection MS Screening 2:45 pm

Affinity-selection MS screening can find binders to a wide variety of RNA targets RNA-binding ligands can then be profiled to determine structural features that bias them to bind to RNA targets Biophysical and cell-based techniques have been applied to characterize activities of novel binders to be bacterial and mammalian non-coding RNA targetsRead more
