Illustration of branched peptide screening on solid support for binding to a specific RNA sequence.
Illustration of branched peptide screening on solid support for binding to a specific RNA sequence. Because the target RNA sequence is labeled with a fluorescent tag, the solid support with a branched peptide sequence capable of binding will become fluorescent as the target RNA binds. This allows for rapid screening of a large number of compounds in a library.
