Abstrakt:	RNA molecules are essential for carrying genetic information and regulating gene expression in most organisms including human pathogenic RNA and relate retro viruses. Targeting viral RNA (vRNA) structures provide broad opportunities to develop chemical tools to probe molecular virology and to discover novel targets for therapeutic intervention. An increasing number of RNA binding small molecules are being identified, stimulating increased interests in small molecule drug discovery for RNA targets. In this chapter, we describe protocols to characterize and robustly validate vRNA-small molecule (vRNA-sm) interactions starting from vRNA sample preparation, followed by small molecule screening against vRNA targets and finally to validating the vRNA-sm interactions via NMR spectroscopy and calorimetric titrations.
