Targeting "undruggable" targets with intrinsically disordered structures is of great significance for the treatment of disease. The transcription factor c-Myc controls global gene expression and is an attractive therapeutic target for multiple types of cancers. However, due to the lack of defined ligand binding pockets, targeted c-Myc have thus far been unsuccessful. Herein, to address the dilemma of lacking ligands, an efficient and high throughput aptamer screening strategy is established, named polystyrene microwell plate-based systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (microwell-SELEX), and identify the specific aptamer (MA9C1) against c-Myc...
