Abstract:
We carried out an in vitro selection of RNA aptamers that bind to Escherichia coli release factor 1 (E. coli RF1). The selected aptamer (class II) showed an apparent dissociation constant of nM range. The binding of the class II aptamer with E. coli RF1 is highly specific (orthogonal), allowing selective inhibition of RF1 activity in the E. coli translation system.
