Expanding the binding specificity for RNA recognition by a PUF domain

The PUF RNAbinding domain has an eight-repeat structure with the ability to bind an eight-base RNA sequence. Here the authors generate a comprehensive library of variants of a PUF domain to find an RNA binding code and design PUF domains that recognize an arbitrary RNA sequence.
