109.2-3 aptamer
Description
In 2000, Robert R. Rando and colleagues employed in vitro selection to identify RNA sequences that bind with high affinity to the A-site of the 16S rRNA decoding region. While the A and P sites of the decoding region constitute only a small fraction of 16S rRNA, mini constructs of the decoding region are biochemically active, suggesting that the structure of the decoding region is preserved in the absence of the remainder of the RNA molecule[1].SELEX
In 2000, Robert R. Rando and colleagues chose to apply two pools of random RNA library to the target 27-nt A-site of the 16S rRNA decoding region. Each of the pools comprised a stretch of 20 and 60 random nucleotides, respectively, which were flanked by the appropriate primers with a promoter site for T7 polymerase[1].

Ligand information
SELEX ligand
Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA which is the primary component of ribosomes, essential to all cells. rRNA is a ribozyme which carries out protein synthesis in ribosomes. Ribosomal RNA is transcribed from ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and then bound to ribosomal proteins to form small and large ribosome subunits. rRNA is the physical and mechanical factor of the ribosome that forces transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) to process and translate the latter into proteins. Ribosomal RNA is the predominant form of RNA found in most cells; it makes up about 80% of cellular RNA despite never being translated into proteins itself.-----From Rfam

Researchers generate a mapping between European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), Protein Data Bank (PDB) and Rfam coordinate systems for those sequences which have a structure in the PDB. The ENA provides a comprehensive record of the world’s nucleotide sequencing information, covering raw sequencing data, sequence assembly information and functional annotation. Bit score is a relative score used to measure the similarity of a sequence alignment. It is calculated based on a comparison between the score of the alignment sequence and the expected score of the random model. A higher Bit score means that the comparison results are more similar and likely to be more reliable. The list of neighbours is sorted by Bit score.
