Student-run account of the SigelLab. We love RNA, smFRET and NMR! In our lab, we determine structures and study dynamics of "active" RNAs. These active RNAs perform a function, e.g. self-cleavage or influencing gene expression.
There's a joint spotlight collection on Bioinorganic Chemistry between Chemical Science and Dalton Transactions - and our paper on elucidating the structure of G4 quadruplexes (pubs.rsc.org/doi/D5SC01416F) has been selected!

Elucidating the solution structure of the monomolecular BCL2 RNA G-quadruplex: a new robust NMR assignment approach
5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNA commonly feature G-quadruplexes (G4s), crucial for translational regulation and promising as drug targets to modulate gene expression. While NMR spectroscopy is ...
