Abstract
The present invention relates to a screening method of an amphiphilic peptide specifically binding to hairpin RNA, more precisely a screening method of an amphiphilic peptide having specificity and strong binding strength to target hairpin RNA using peptide library comprising those peptides having modifications of both hydrophilic face and hydrophobic face. The method of the present invention provides a screening method of an amphiphilic peptide which is specific to hairpin RNA. So, the peptide selected by the method of the present invention can be effectively used for the study of hairpin RNA functions and for the production of a novel drug using an artificial peptide binding to a hairpin RNA target.
