Description

Overall, this volume serves as a comprehensive methodological resource that integrates RNA-binding proteins, RNA metabolism, phase separation, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. As Volume 743 of the Methods in Enzymology series, RNA-Binding Proteins highlights recent advances in the field through chapters covering topics such as RNA-Binding Proteins: Structure, Function, and RNA Interactions; RNA Granules, Phase Separation, and Biomolecular Condensates; RNA Regulation in Cellular Physiology; RNA-Binding Proteins in Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration; RNA Processing, Editing, Splicing, and Decay; Non-Coding RNAs, Small RNAs, and RNA Therapeutics; and Experimental and Computational Methods for RNA–Protein Interaction Analysis. Collectively, these contributions provide valuable methodological and conceptual insights, making the volume highly relevant to researchers in molecular biology, neuroscience, RNA biology, and translational medicine.

Key features

  • Covers both fundamental RNA biology (RNA editing, RNA-protein interactions, RNA decay, splicing and disease-oriented applications)
  • Integrates structural, biophysical, computational, and cellular approaches
  • Features high-impact reviews exploring the latest discoveries and methodologies in RNA-binding protein research

David Christianson

After completing studies for the A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry at Harvard University, David W. Christianson joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where he is currently the Roy and Diana Vagelos Professor in Chemistry and Chemical Biology. At Penn, Christianson’s research focuses on the structural and chemical biology of the zinc-dependent histone deacetylases as well as enzymes of terpene biosynthesis. His research accomplishments have been recognized by several awards, including the Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry and the Repligen Award in Chemistry of Biological Processes from the American Chemical Society, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Elizabeth S. and Richard M. Cashin Fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. Christianson is also a dedicated classroom teacher, and his accomplishments in this regard have been recognized by the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching at Penn and a Rhodes Trust Inspirational Educator Award from Oxford University. Christianson has also held visiting professorships in the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University. Christianson has served with Prof. Anna Pyle as Co-Editor-in-Chief of Methods in Enzymology since 2015.
