- I've been single-stranded too long! Lonely ATGCATG would like to pair up with congenial TACGTAC.
- Menage a trois! Ligand seeks two receptors into binding and mutual phosphorylation. Let's get together and transduce some signals.
- Some dates have called me a promotor. Others have referred to me as a real operator. Personally, I think I'm just a cute piece of DNA who is still looking for that special transcription factor to help me unwind.
- Highly sensitive, orally active small molecule seeks stable well-structured receptor who knows size isn't everything.
- There must be a rational way to meet a date! I'm tired of hanging out in those molecular diversity bars, hoping to randomly bump into the right peptide. I want a molecule that will fit right into my active site and really turn me on. I'll send you my crystal structure if you send me yours!
- Gene therapy graduate. After years of producing nothing but gibberish, I've shed my exons and am ready to express my introns. All I need is a cute vector to introduce me to the right host.
- My RNA, I'm sorry I misread your UAAUAAUAA and inserted three tyrosines when you repeatedly asked me to stop. Something got lost in the translation. Please forgive me.
- Naked DNA with sticky ends seeks kanamycin-resistant plasmid. EcoR1 sites preferred.
- Uninhibited virus seeks reason to make me shed my coat protein.
- This very selective oliogonucleotide has been probing for just the right target for long term hybridization.
- Mature cell seeks same who still enjoys cycling and won't go apoptotic on me. Let's fight senescence together!
- I'm a prolific progenitor with great potential for growth and self-renewal. Call me if you're a potent hematopoietic factor who still believes in endless nights of colony stimulation.
- I don't always express myself on the surface, but I'm looking for a signal that you appreciate my complexity. Send me the right message that will penetrate my membranes, turn on my protein expression and release my potential energy.
