💊 What makes a good RNA-targeting drug?

Molecular biologist at the UG Danny Incarnato shows that small molecules that bind to RNA only rarely affect its function, while molecules that change RNA structure have a bigger effect.

His team's findings were published in Nature Communications.

Imaging technique captures ultrafast electron and atom dynamics in chemical reactions

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively charged particles) and nuclei (i.e., the positively charged central parts of atoms). Valence electrons are shared and re-arranged between different atoms, creating new bonds.
