Conscious uncoupling of riboswitch functions.

Abstract excerpt

Riboswitches alter gene expression in response to ligand binding, coupling sensing and regulatory functions to help bacteria respond to their environment. The structural determinants of ligand binding in the prequeuosine (7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine, preQ1) bacterial riboswitches have been studied, but the functional consequences of structural perturbations are less known. A new article combining biophysical and...
