    Abstract:
    An RNA aptamer containing two binding sites of HIV Tat exhibits extremely high affinity to Tat. We have determined the structure of the aptamer complexed with an RNA-binding peptide of Tat. The analysis was made feasible by the use of several peptides in which a single arginine residue was specifically 13C, 15N-labeled. Residue specific labeling of the peptide enhanced the identification of intermolecular contacts, which are otherwise hard to identify due to spectral overlapping. The structure of the complex has revealed the origin of the high affinity of the aptamer to Tat.
