Aminoglycoside antibiotics can target RNA folds with micromolar affinity and inhibit biological processes ranging from protein biosynthesis to ribozyme action and viral replication. Specific features of aminoglycoside antibiotic-RNA recognition have been probed using chemical, biochemical, spectroscopic and computational approaches on both natural RNA targets and RNA aptamers identified through in vitro selection. Our previous studies on tobramycin-RNA aptamer complexes are extended to neomycin B bound to its selected RNA aptamer with 100 nM affinity.
