The highly conserved secondary structural RNA motifs endowed by the IRES element of EMCV picornavirus provide an excellent platform to design RNA nanostructures for application in medicine. We have identified a 44mer RNA, hosting distinct 15mer and 11mer RNA stem loop motifs, as potential building blocks for the design of RNA nanostructures.
