Abstract

Deciphering complex RNA-protein interactions on a (near-)atomic level is a hurdle that hinders advancing our understanding of fundamental processes in RNA metabolism and RNA-based gene regulation. To overcome challenges associated with individual structure determination methods, structural information derived from complementary biophysical methods can be combined in integrative structural biology approaches. Here, we review recent advances in such hybrid structural approaches with a focus on combining mass spectrometric analysis of cross-linked protein-RNA complexes and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
