“A chemical biology toolbox for probing A-to-I RNA editing”

Friday, September 23, 2022 @ 3:30 pm in Anderson 329

RNA undergoes extensive modification through enzymatic post-transcriptional editing events. Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is one of the most widespread and impactful of these modifications and is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs).
