Abstract excerpt
RNase L is activated by the binding of unusual 2',5'-linked oligoadenylates (2-5A) and acts as the effector enzyme of the 2-5A system, an interferon-induced anti-virus mechanism. Efforts have been made to understand the 2-5A binding mechanism, not only for scientific interests but also for the prospects that the understanding of such mechanisms lead to new remedies for viral diseases. We have recently elucidated...
