RNA binding is a research area that focuses on the interactions between RNA molecules and proteins, including RNA-binding proteins. These interactions play a critical role in various cellular processes, such as RNA splicing, translation, and stability. Researchers study the mechanisms by which RNA molecules are recognized and bound by proteins, as well as the functional consequences of these interactions. Understanding RNA binding is important for elucidating the regulation of gene expression and for developing targeted therapeutic strategies for diseases that involve dysregulation of RNA-protein interactions.
