title: Binding kinetics and bioassay of RRE mRNA fragments to a peptide containing the recognition domain of HIV-1 Rev.
abstract: Surface plasmon resonance techniques have been used to examine the kinetics of binding for two RNA fragments to an RNA binding domain of HIV-1 REv. RBE3 RNA elicited an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 121 nM while RREIIB41-79 RNA exhibited an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 2.5 nM. The dissociation rates for both RNA fragments were comparable. However, the shorter sequence, RBE3, exhibited considerably slower association kinetics. A series of known inhibitors were assayed against these RNA' and the derived K1's were consistent with those reported in the literature, validating the method for routine inhibitor assays.
