Abstract excerpt
A method to design novel molecules that specifically recognize a structured RNA would be a promising tool for the development of drugs or probes targeting RNA. In this study, the de novo design of the alpha-helical peptides having L-alpha-amino acids with nucleobases (nucleobase amino acids, NBAs) was carried out. Binding affinities of the peptides for a hairpin RNA derived from P22 phage were dependent on the...
