1. A method comprising modifying a first aptamer that is capable of binding a target protein whereby the first aptamer comprises a first modified C-5 position uracil, and wherein the modification to the first aptamer results in a second aptamer having improved binding affinity for the target protein compared to the binding affinity of the first aptamer for the target protein;
- wherein the modification to the first aptamer is a substitution of the first modified C-5 position uracil with a second modified C-5 position uracil, wherein the first modified C-5 position uracil and the second modified C-5 position uracil are different C-5 position modified uracils, and wherein the first modified C-5 position uracil has a hydrophobic moiety selected from the group consisting of;
