Key result
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides critical insights into the structural diversity, dynamic sub-states, and interactions of viral, long non-coding, regulatory, and modified RNAs.
Why the study?
RNA plays a substantial role in cellular processes, but answering how RNA structure changes functionally and upon biomolecule interactions requires comprehensive structural insight using NMR spectroscopy.
This review highlights the utility of NMR spectroscopy in elucidating the complex structures, dynamics, and interactions of various RNA molecules, which is essential for understanding their biological functions and potential as drug targets.

NMR advances RNA structural insights for drug targeting; leaves open clinical translation without prospective validation.
RNA was shown to have a more substantial role in the regulation of diverse cellular processes than anticipated until recently. Answers to questions what is the structure of specific RNAs, how structure changes to accommodate different functional roles, and how RNA senses other biomolecules and changes its fold upon interaction create a complete representation of RNA involved in cellular processes. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy encompasses a collection of methods and approaches that offer insight into several structural aspects of RNAs. We review the most recent advances in the field of viral, long non-coding, regulatory, and four-stranded RNAs, with an emphasis on the detection of dynamic sub-states and in view of chemical modifications that expand RNA's function.
