Three-dimensional structure determination of RNA molecules and protein-RNA complexes. A combined approach of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, molecular biology techniques, and other biophysical methods to study and determine the structure of RNA molecules and protein-RNA complexes. Modern multi-dimensional multi-nuclear NMR methods that utilize isotopically enriched (¹³C, ¹⁵N, ²H) protein or RNA molecules are used for NMR analysis, while molecular biology techniques are used to produce the protein and RNA samples for structural studies.
