RNA loop aptamer
Description
In 1997, Bongrae Cho and colleagues used the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) to isolate high affinity RNA aptamers that bind to the RNA stem-loop. The RNA used for selection was a small stem-loop which was prepared by in vitro transcription[1].SELEX
In 1997, Bongrae Cho and colleagues used a blocking deoxynucleotide to select against species in the RNA library which bound to the target RNA stem-loop by W-C base pairing. The winning RNA aptamer was identified by affinity chromatography and gel-shift[1].
Detailed information are accessible on SELEX page.
Structure
g18_04 aptamer was the aptamer sequence mainly studied in the article, which had a high affinity with RNA stem-loop. The 2D structure of the figure is based on the article by ribodraw tool to draw[1].5'-GGGAGAAUUCCGACCAGAAGCUUCCGAAGCAUUCCGGCGUAGGGGUCUGUGCGCAAAACCAUCGGCCCUGGUGCCUAUGUGCGUCUACAUGGAUCCUCA-3'
Ligand information
SELEX ligand
The target stem-loop RNA was designed by the authors themselves. The target stem-loop RNA designed by the author includes the stem sequence is the same as that of Bacillus subtilis RNase P RNA P5.1 domain. Although the stem-loop RNA is 3 nt longer than the latter.

Similar compound
Researchers generate a mapping between European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), Protein Data Bank (PDB) and Rfam coordinate systems for those sequences which have a structure in the PDB. The ENA provides a comprehensive record of the world’s nucleotide sequencing information, covering raw sequencing data, sequence assembly information and functional annotation. Bit score is a relative score used to measure the similarity of a sequence alignment. It is calculated based on a comparison between the score of the alignment sequence and the expected score of the random model. A higher Bit score means that the comparison results are more similar and likely to be more reliable. The list of neighbours is sorted by Bit score.
