Structural basis for activation of fluorogenic dyes by an RNA aptamer lacking a G-quadruplex motif

Structural basis for activation of fluorogenic dyes by an RNA aptamer lacking a G-quadruplex motif

The DIR2s RNA aptamer activates the fluorescence of cyanine dyes allowing detection of two well-resolved emission colors. Here authors solve the crystal structures of the apo and OTB-SO3 fluorophore-bound DIR2s and show how the fluorophore ligand is bound.
