About Ribocentre-aptamer database

Ribocentre-aptamer Database is designed to provide information on RNA aptamers. Each aptamer page includes a brief introduction and offers various search options, such as sequence, publications, structures, binding affinities, and applications. Users can submit new RNA aptamer cases or related comments through the submission portal to enhance our database. The Binding Sites page compiles information on binding sites verified by published studies and classifies the aptamers. The Applications page showcases examples of RNA aptamer applications in previous research, updated regularly. The Structures page offers detailed insights into different aspects of RNA aptamers, and the Publications page provides links to individual aptamer pages, structural details, and related publications.

How to use the database

Search channels

On the home page, we start with a brief introduction, hoping that you will understand some basic concepts of RNA aptamers. There are three available search channels on the home page: (1) You can use the navigation bar to switch to the Aptamers, SELEX, Applications, or Fluorescence pages. (2) You can search by keyword in the search box in the header. (3) Above the table, you can search by keyword or switch to a specific page.

Download channels

In each page, we mainly display the information of different RNA aptamers in table form. You can click the title to sort the column information. You can click the download button to download the information in different formats. When you want to download the information of a specific aptamer, you can filter it by search first and then download it.

Interactive visualization

Clink the aptamer name in aptamer page, and it would send you to a new page which shows the timeline, structure, binding pockets information and so on of the riboswitch you choosed. For 3d structures you can use the interactive window to colour the structure or click on the zoom button on the right to go to a new page with more detailed information. In addition, we provide information about similar ligands to help you transform aptamers. We hope you can find all the information available in this database.

SELEX channel

On the SELEX page, you can go to the SELEX content page by clicking on the image or the name of the SELEX method in the table.

Feedback channel

To keep pace with the latest developments in RNA aptamers research, the database will undergo regular updates. In home page, We provide a link to the feedback button. In addition, Click the top button to return to a series of database collections.
