Summary Computational RNA droplets are composed of synthetic RNA nanostructures (motifs), self-asembled from multiple single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs). The motifs form a network-like structure via kissing-loop (KL) interaction in the stem loop structure.

To optimize the thermostability of the KL interaction, different KL candidate sequences are examined: KL_Ori, KL_Mut1, KL_Mut2 in the order of thermostability, in comparison with sticky-end type sequences.

The designed motif comprises six ssRNA, four of which are engaged with KL, and the others have a toehold region of strand displacement reactions. They favor selectively bind with targeted microRNAs.

Sequences are listed in the Supporing Material, uploaded below.
