text: Nucleic acid ligand is defined herein as a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid having a specific binding affinity for a target compound, such target compound being a three dimensional chemical structure other than a polynucleotide that binds to the nucleic acid ligand through a mechanism which predominantly depends on Watson/Crick base pairing or triple helix binding, and wherein the nucleic acid ligand is not a nucleic acid having the known physiological function of being bound by the target compound.
