Ribocentre-aptamer: an integrative, structure-focused database for RNA aptamers.
RNA aptamers function as 'chemical antibodies' with advantages in binding to diverse ligands, enabling transformative applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and biosensing. Despite these potential and existing databases, rational aptamer design is hindered by the lack of integrated resources coupling experimentally determined structural data with ligand-binding mechanisms. Here, we present Ribocentre-aptamer (https://aptamer.ribocentre.org/), a manually curated database to capture the molecular mechanism of RNA aptamer binding. Our resource systematically catalogues 191 aptamer types across 669 publications, unifying 510 sequences, 123 small-molecule ligands, and 344 protein ligands with experimentally resolved secondary/tertiary structures, ligand-binding pockets, affinity metrics, and functional annotations. Ribocentre-aptamer aims to bridge molecular mechanism discovery with translational engineering, providing an indispensable platform for advancing aptamer science.
期刊介绍:
Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) is a scientific journal that publishes research on various aspects of nucleic acids and proteins involved in nucleic acid metabolism and interactions. It covers areas such as chemistry and synthetic biology, computational biology, gene regulation, chromatin and epigenetics, genome integrity, repair and replication, genomics, molecular biology, nucleic acid enzymes, RNA, and structural biology. The journal also includes a Survey and Summary section for brief reviews. Additionally, each year, the first issue is dedicated to biological databases, and an issue in July focuses on web-based software resources for the biological community. Nucleic Acids Research is indexed by several services including Abstracts on Hygiene and Communicable Diseases, Animal Breeding Abstracts, Agricultural Engineering Abstracts, Agbiotech News and Information, BIOSIS Previews, CAB Abstracts, and EMBASE.
