　　RNA在生命体发挥多种重要的生理功能，其突变或代谢失衡往往引起多种疾病。相比于蛋白质，当前RNA的高级结构研究远远滞后。mRNA技术在新冠疫苗开发方面的空前成功也激起了人们对RNA疗法的极大兴趣。

　　本课题组聚焦于RNA的整合结构生物学研究。我们一方面致力于体外与活细胞内RNA高级结构研究新方法与新方案的开发，并据此开展与人类疾病或重大生命过程密切相关的RNA的高级结构、构象动态、相互作用与功能关系的研究，另一方面致力于靶向RNA与基于RNA的新疗法的开发。课题组目前的主要研究方向为：

1. RNA高级结构研究新方法与新方案的开发。由于RNA固有的柔性，应用传统结构研究手段包括X射线晶体学、核磁共振和冷冻电镜对RNA进行高级结构研究非常具有挑战性，有必要开发新方法。我们将结合化学生物学与合成生物学的进展，积极开发体外与活细胞内RNA的位点特异性与区段选择性标记技术，环状RNA的制备技术，以及活细胞内RNA高级结构研究的方法。

2. 长链RNA高级结构与功能研究。长链RNA（包括长非编码RNA，环状RNA和真核mRNA的非翻译区等）是RNA高级结构研究的难点。基于课题组开发的RNA研究新方法与新方案，我们将整合多种方法(包括SHAPE-MaP, 小角X射线/中子散射技术、电子顺磁共振/核磁共振技术、X射线晶体学、单分子荧光共振能量转移、X射线散射干涉以及计算模拟等)，开展致病病毒 (包括黄病毒、冠状病毒) RNA、致病细菌(如结核杆菌)RNA、与神经退行性疾病密切相关真核mRNA非翻译区和lncRNA, circRNA的结构、相互作用与功能关系的研究。

3. RNA构象动态与功能研究。RNA的生理功能不仅与其特定的高级结构密切相关，还与RNA响应配体结合或环境变化的构象动态变化密切相关。当前，已有部分长链RNA的高分辨率结构得到解析，在此基础上，我们将结合单分子技术(包括单分子荧光共振能量转移、单分子纳米孔技术等)与系综技术(包括小角射线、电子顺磁共振、X射线散射干涉等)开展相关RNA的构象动态与功能关系研究。

4. 靶向RNA与基于RNA的新疗法开发。在前期结构-功能关系研究的基础上，课题组将发展RNA的稳定化技术，开发mRNA分子的理性设计和优化策略、发展靶向RNA和RNA结合蛋白的定向降解技术，为开发靶向RNA和基于RNA的生物治疗方案提供依据。
