摘要

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying a nucleotide sequence necessary for expressing affinity for a target substance with respect to a nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule such as an aptamer having such affinity for the target substance, based on similarity between nucleotide sequences and an evaluated value of the affinity of the nucleotide sequence, and a method for predicting a secondary structure of the nucleic acid molecule including the identified nucleotide sequence. The method of present invention includes the steps of extracting a single-stranded region by excluding based capable of forming a stem structure from the nucleotide sequence of the nucleic acid molecule; and searching a motif sequence from the single-stranded region, based on an evaluated value of the affinity.
