A controllable, intracellular RNA aptamer could be an invaluable therapeutic or discovery reagent. A report published in this journal shows that aptamer behavior can be regulated by a small molecule, paving the way for the development of more sophisticated ligand-regulated aptamers.

Methods for Improving Aptamer Binding Affinity
Aptamers are single stranded oligonucleotides that bind a wide range of biological targets. Although aptamers can be isolated from pools of random sequence oligonucleotides using affinity-based selection, aptamers with high affinities are not always ...

Aptamers: A Feasible Technology in Cancer Immunotherapy
Aptamers are single-chained RNA or DNA oligonucleotides (ODNs) with three-dimensional folding structures which allow them to bind to their targets with high specificity.

DNA Aptamers against Taiwan Banded Krait α-Bungarotoxin Recognize Taiwan Cobra Cardiotoxins
Bungarus multicinctus α-bungarotoxin (α-Bgt) and Naja atra cardiotoxins (CTXs) share a common structural scaffold, and their tertiary structures adopt three-fingered loop motifs. Four DNA aptamers against α-Bgt have been reported previously.
