Abstract:The therapeutic potential of targeting protein-RNA interactions has not been fully explored. While several approaches to block the interactions between various RNA and protein partners have been developed, rational efforts to target pre-assembled complexes have not been broadly pursued. This is despite the recent commercial success of risdiplam, and the high-resolution structure of the EIF4A-polypurine-Rocaglamide A ternary complex, which elucidates how compounds may recognize these pockets. These prominent ex… Show more
