Despite our increasing appreciation of non-coding RNA function, RNA has been conspicuously underrepresented in small-molecule drug development efforts until recently. Now it is clear binding pockets on RNA can make good drug targets, yet the properties and principles of small molecule binding sites on RNA remain poorly defined. I will discuss the challenges of defining small-molecule binding sites across the transcriptome and new approaches to address these challenges.
