    Snippet: The intrinsic RNA structure of a conserved genome region is of interest in current medical research (Fig. 1B) . On one hand, stable secondary structure domains are candidates for harboring stereotyped 3D RNA folds that present targets for small-molecule drug therapeutics. On the other hand, if an RNA region is sufficiently unstructured to allow binding by hybridization probes, antisense oligonucleotides may be used to disrupt these functional str.....
    Document: The intrinsic RNA structure of a conserved genome region is of interest in current medical research (Fig. 1B) . On one hand, stable secondary structure domains are candidates for harboring stereotyped 3D RNA folds that present targets for small-molecule drug therapeutics. On the other hand, if an RNA region is sufficiently unstructured to allow binding by hybridization probes, antisense oligonucleotides may be used to disrupt these functional structures. Such unstructured stretches may also be more likely to be accessible to diagnostic and antiviral interventions including standard RT-PCR assays.
