Abstract excerpt
Arginine-rich domains are used by a variety of RNA-binding proteins to recognize specific RNA hairpins. It has been shown previously that a 17-aa arginine-rich peptide from the human immunodeficiency virus Rev protein binds specifically to its RNA site when the peptide is in an alpha-helical conf...
