The apple does not fall far from the tree. In this issue, Tran et al. describe synthetic small molecules that activate the ZTP riboswitch, a bacterial RNA that regulates gene expression. The apples signify RNA bound to particular synthetic ligands, with the best ligand being grasped by the researcher.
