RBPBind: Quantitative prediction of Protein-RNA Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Summary: We introduce RBPBind, a web-based tool for the quantitative prediction of RNA-protein interactions. Given a user-specified RNA and a protein selected from a set of several common RNAbinding proteins, RBPBind computes the binding curve and effective binding constant of the reaction in question. The server also computes the probability that, at a given concentration of protein, a protein molecule will bind to any particular nucleotide along the RNA. The software for RBPBind is adapted from the Vienna RNA package, whose source code has been modified to accommodate the effects of single stranded RNA binding proteins. RBPBind thus fully incorporates the effect of RNA secondary structure on protein-RNA interactions. Availability: Our web server is available at http://bioserv.mps.ohio-state.edu/RBPBind Contact: [email protected]

In silico investigation of lactoferrin protein characterizations for the prediction of anti-microbial properties
Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. In this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate Lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. Results showed that the iron-binding site, DNA and RNA-binding sites, signal pepti...
متن کاملDiscovering Domains Mediating Protein Interactions
Background: Protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information regarding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. The majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. Most of the former studies focus only on interacting domain pairs. However they do not consider the in...
