MeRNA Database: RNA and Metals
Feb 18, 2010
For structural information concerning metals and RNA then you may find MeRNA quite helpful (pdf ref). Metals have been shown to play an important role in RNA folding. The MeRNA database currently contains 398 PDB entries which include 22 different metals.
Note: The MESPEUS database is excellent resource for metals and proteins.
The simple periodic table display works well. The results page would be easier to read if the titles were not all in italics.
The advance search offers a number of function with my favorite being the ability to search through 8 different binding motifs. The advanced search also allows for search by reference and/or author.
