ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the use of oligourea molecules to specifically inhibit protein-nucleic acid interactions. In particular, it provides an oligourea molecule that competes with the Tat molecule for the TAR RNA of HIV-1. Also provided is a method specifically inhibiting protein-nucleic and interactions, and kits.
