RNABase is a unified database of all three-dimensional structures containing RNA deposited in either the PDB or NDB. For each structure, RNABase contains a brief summary as well as annotation of conformational parameters, identification of possible model errors, Ramachandran-style conformational maps and classification of ribonucleotides into conformers. These same analyses can also be performed on structures submitted by users. To facilitate access, structures are automatically placed into a variety of functional and structural categories, including: ribozymes, pseudoknots, etc. Lists of structures in RNABase can be sorted by experimental technique, structural and functional categories (e.g. ribozymes, aptamers, tetraloops, etc.), or by conformational outlier rate. Classification by technique and into structural and functional categories is performed based on keywords in author supplied data such as: title, keywords, etc. RNABase also provides both simple and advanced search tools in addition to these general lists.
