This communication introduces a new class of promising RNAligands, named polyamideamino acids (PAA), which are able to bind a targeted bulged stem-loopRNA fragment (HIV-1 TAR RNA) with micromolar affinities and with specificity comparative to dsDNA and tRNA; both the affinity and the specificity of PAA for TAR depend on their length and on the nature of the amino acid residues.
