Protein-RNA interactions are essential for many biological processes. However, the structural mechanisms underlying these interactions are not fully understood. Here, we analyzed the protein surface shape (dented, intermediate or protruded) and the RNA base pairing properties (paired or unpaired nucleotides) at the interfaces of 91 protein-RNA complexes derived from the Protein Data Bank. Dente...

In the treatment of a protruded premaxilla associated with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate, some patients require surgical setback of the premaxilla with osteotomy as functional and aesthetic treatment. No satisfactory surgical approaches have been established for the setback because it is usually difficult to fix the premaxilla after osteotomy in the mixed dentition period. This paper ...
