Molecular Basis for Interaction of let-7 MicroRNAs with Lin28.

TL;DR: The data provide a molecular explanation for Lin28 specificity and a model for how it regulates let-7, and show by NMR spectroscopy that the linker connecting the two folded domains is flexible, accommodating Lin28 binding to diverseLet-7 family members.

How Random are Intrinsically Disordered Proteins? A Small Angle Scattering Perspective

TL;DR: The interest of the theory of polymer physics to evaluate the flexibility of fully disordered proteins is presented and the different strategies to obtain 3-dimensional models of IDPs, free in solution and associated in a complex are reviewed.
