Modelling aptamers with nucleic acid mimics (NAM): From sequence to three-dimensional docking.

Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides, formerly evolved by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX), that fold into functional three-dimensional structures. Such conformation is crucial for aptamers' ability to bind to a target with high affinity and specificity...
