title: Binding of a dinuclear ruthenium(ii) complex to the TAR region of the HIV-AIDS viral RNA.
abstract: Molecular modelling has identified a new RNA conformational feature created by the insertion of bulge residues into duplex regions that may act as a recognition site for small molecule binding, in particular for inert dinuclear ruthenium complexes.
