“…RT stop sites are mapped using ShapeFinder, a package used to quantitatively map RT stops at nucleotide resolution and when a ligand titration is used, the stops uncover RNA conformational changes due ligand binding (Vasa, Guex, Wilkinson, Weeks, & Giddings, 2008). When this method was applied to a human-genomic in vitro selection for ATP-binders, it revealed three novel humangenome-derived ATP-binding RNA aptamers, and confirmed the existence of two previously identified aptamers (Abdelsayed et al, 2017;Vu et al, 2012). These results demonstrated the robustness of the method to perform structural analysis in a high-throughput pipeline and allowed determination of dissociation rate constants, K D s, for selected pools while eliminating single-clone biochemical assessment.…”
