Description
Luana Luiza Bastos and colleagues introduce, in 2026, RNApedia, a curated database of structural interactions between proteins and RNA. Older resources leave gaps in careful structural detail for these complexes. The team built a web platform with easy web access. Data are free to download.
It holds careful analyses of 56,133 protein-RNA pairs. Each entry lists surface areas, atomic contacts, and interaction types. RNA classes, protein domains, and RNA changes are logged too. Affinity data appear where available. The design scales as new structures arrive. The authors aim to serve structural bioinformatics and data-driven work, including AI projects. Protein-RNA binding guides gene expression, so a clean structural map supports both basic research and biotechnology.
