Abstract excerpt
We recently isolated an aptamer that binds to the Tat protein of HIV-1 with extremely high affinity and specificity (Yamamoto, R.; et al. Genes Cells 2000, 5, 371.). In the present study, we exploited this strong binding to develop a novel coupling method that links genotype with phenotype. To strengthen the original RNA-protein interaction still further, we connected three units of the aptamer in tandem and...
