Abstract
Biomolecular interaction kinetics underpin essential cellular mechanisms, yet quantitative databases remain scarce for RNA-protein interactions (RPIs)-a critical regulatory axis in post-transcriptional control, synthetic biology, and therapeutic development. We previously established KDBI (Kinetic Data of Bio-molecular Interactions database) to catalog quantitative kinetics data across diverse biomolecular interaction types. Here, we present KDBI-RP, a dedicated extension focused on RPI kinetics, addressing the growing demand for RNA-centric kinetic research. KDBI-RP systematically integrates binding data for RNA-protein interactions, including kinetic rate constants-association (kon, 3657 entries) and dissociation (koff, 3761 entries)-supplemented by equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd, 175,932 entries). The database offers well-curated information on kinetic constants, assay conditions, literature sources, and comprehensive sequence, structural, and functional annotations for proteins, RNAs, and their complexes. KDBI-RP is freely accessible at http://www.kdbirp.aiddlab.com. We anticipate that KDBI-RP will serve as a valuable resource for the RNA biology and RNA-based medicine research communities.
