RNA recruiter-linker 1

RNA recruiter-linker 1 is part of the RNA ligand-linker in RNAse L RIBOTAC, which is an RNA-degrading chimera designed to bind the four-stranded RNA helix SL5 within the 5' untranslated region of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome. This binding inhibits the replication of the virus in lung epithelial carcinoma cells. RNA recruiter-linker 1 is also useful in RIBOTAC synthesis.
