Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to obtain a novel RNA aptamer against AML1 Runt domain by the structure based design. (1)The designed aptamer, Apt14 has high affinity for the Runt domain. (2) The mutant analysis of the Apt14 suggested that internal loop and terminal stem structure are important for the affinity to the Runt domain.
