Researchers find a way to measure key characteristics of proteins that bind to RNA A team of Case Western Reserve University researchers has found a way to measure key characteristics of proteins that bind to RNA in cells--a discovery that could improve our understanding of how gene function is disturbed in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders or infections. RNA--short for ribonucleic acid--carries genetic instructions within the body. RNA-binding proteins play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Scientists already knew that the way these proteins function depends on their ...

Work has potential implications for new therapies to treat cancer and neurodegenerative disorders A team of Case Western Reserve University researchers has found a way to measure key characteristics of proteins that bind to RNA in cells-a discovery that could improve our understanding of how gene function is disturbed in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders or infections. RNA-short for ribonucleic acid-carries genetic instructions within the body. RNA-binding proteins play an important role in the regulation of gene expression.
