Mechanical Properties of Nucleic Acids with Binding Pockets for Small Molecules... 

From a structural point of view, the nucleic acid receptor folds upon small molecule binding from a more or less disordered structure into a well-defined binding pocket, encapsulating the target. Numerous studies have shown that such structural reorganization of the functional nucleic acid, mediated by the small...
