RNA Chaperones, RNA Annealers and RNA Helicases

Abstract excerpt

RNA molecules face difficulties when folding into their native structures. In the cell, proteins can assist RNAs in reaching their functionally active states by binding and stabilizing a specific structure or, in a quite opposite way, by interacting in a non-specific manner. These proteins can either facilitate RNA-RNA interactions in a reaction termed RNA annealing, or they can resolve non-functional inhibitory...
