Abstract We have studied small molecules binding to and regulating RNA structure and, eventually its function. In the talk, recent our results on the effect of maturation of microRNA by small molecule binding to its precursor pre-microRNA to modulate the Dicer cleavage reaction, and induce the programmed –1 ribosomal frame shift by ligand-induced pseudo knot on mRNA
