Abstract
The instant invention provides a method for identifying and preparing nucleic acid ligands capable of facilitating aminoacyl-RNA synthesis. The nucleic acid ligands are identified and produced by exposure of candidate nucleic sequences to a reactant under conditions conducive to reaction, wherein nucleic acid sequences having facilitative activity are able to facilitate or enhance a reaction between the reactant molecule and nucleic acid sequence. Included in the invention are specific RNA ligands capable of facilitating aminoacyl-RNA synthesis identified by the SELEX method.
