“…2,141 (v) RNA's environmental factors: experimental conditions, such as temperature, pH, and the presence of other molecules (e.g., other counterions, ligands), and crowders can significantly influence RNA-ion interactions. [142][143][144][145] While this article has illustrated some of their effects on RNA-ion interactions, controlling these variables can indeed be challenging. (vi) Limitations of experimental techniques: there are various state-of-the-art techniques for probing RNA-ion interactions, such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), to name a few.…”
