Abstract excerpt
Multiple loop-loop interactions between adjacent RNA hairpins regulate gene expression in different organisms. To demonstrate that such natural interactions could be mimicked for generating RNA ligands that are able to recognize simultaneously at least two structured RNA targets, a double kissing complex model was designed. The target consisted of two HIV-1 transactivating responsive (TAR) RNA variants, BRU and...
