An in vivo high-throughput screening for riboswitch ligands using a reverse reporter gene system

Abstract Riboswitches are bacterial RNA elements that regulate gene expression in response to metabolite or ion abundance and are considered as potential drug targets. In recent years a number of methods to find non-natural riboswitch ligands have been described. Here we report a high-throughput in...
