Gene expression in higher eukaryotic cells orchestrates interactions between thousands of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and tens of thousands of RNAs 1. The kinetics by which RBPs bind to and dissociate from their RNA sites are critical for the coordination of cellular RNA-protein interactions 2. However, these kinetics were experimentally inaccessible in cells. Here we show that time-resolved RNA-protein crosslinking with a pulsed femtosecond UV laser, followe...
