This finding suggests that RNA structures and dynamics have important effects on the ion cloud, which IS the RNA spatial fingerprint. Unstructured RNAs thus can play a role of a recruiter of molecular partners using long-ranged interactions, leaving stable interactions for folded domains.

Ca ions prefer to bind directly to phosphate without water mediation, while Mg ions bind to RNA fully hydrated. This means the Mg ion cloud is much more extended compared to Ca cloud.

Kudos to Hiranmay and Peter for spearheading it!

Text might be tiny, but here's the existing 27 vs. the proposed 15 institutes that will be left standing.

You'll probably see a number of resignations, re-assignments, and the whole thing will be administered by political appointees who will oversee funding & policy.
