How RNA binding selectivity arises from disordered regions

RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA (mRNA) while leaving others alone. This finding could contribute to the rational design of drugs that tweak the enzyme's activity. The paper is published in the journal Nature Com...
