I am excited to announce that another paper, for which I am the lead author, has been published in Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) (IF 16.6). I am grateful to my advisor and co-authors.

How many different things can you grab using a small β-barrel? Sugars, #DNA,#RNA,#tRNA? All of the above. Led by Aline Umuhire Juru, Rodolfo Ghirlando Nature Communications, we find a class of OB-folds in Trbp and Arc1p recognize tRNAs by their universal 3’ ends. go.nature.com/4dj7Bmk
