title: RNA Structure Switches RBP Binding.
abstract: RNA sequence motifs are not sufficient for association with RBPs. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Taliaferro et al. (2016) demonstrate that, other than sequence motif, RNA secondary structure plays a repressive role on RBP binding, both in vitro and in vivo.
