Remembering Prof. G. N. Ramachandran on his 104th birth anniversary A pioneer of structural biology, he proposed the triple-helix structure of collagen and co-developed the Ramachandran Plot, which is still used worldwide to understand and validate protein structures. His work laid the foundation for molecular biophysics in India and continues to shape modern biology and drug discovery. Celebrating a visionary who changed how we see the molecules of life. #GNRamachandran #RamachandranPlot #StructuralBiology @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @DBT_inStem @NABI_India @bric_ils @HydNiab @FollowDbtNibmg @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @DBT_IBSD @THSTIFaridabad @unescorcb @CSIR_IND @ICGEBNewDelhi @BIRAC_2012 @CSIRIndia @DSTIndia

1/ Over the past 50 years, we have learned much about how transcription factors and other DNA-binding proteins search for their targets, but we know much less about how sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) search for their targets. 🧵⤵️

Excited to share the first pre-print from our lab!! Check it out here! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We found that many RNA-binding proteins understood to regulate RNA processing can also function like transcription factors and cofactors to directly regulate transcription.

Finally out in @Cellcellpress! Proteins with long intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis. This is prevented by mRNA 3′UTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
