PCR is used to evolve aptamers, RNA molecules that bind to a given target.

: We conclude that arginine shows specific affinity for its codons in the context of arginine aptamers, and that this affinity may have played some role in determining which codons encode arginine in the universal genetic code.
-
We approached the problem by isolating a set of distinct aptamers, all of which bind the same target (GTP), but with a wide range of affinities.
-
Our results show that the high-affinity aptamers are much more structurally complex than the low-affinity aptamers.
