METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXTRACTING AND VISUALIZING SECONDARY RNA STRUCTURE ELEMENTS FROM PROTEIN-RNA COMPLEXES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for extracting and visualizing RNA structure elements comprising extracting secondary and tertiary RNA structural elements by applying data mining technique to three-dimensional atomic coordinate data of RNA obtained from protein data bank (PDB) and visualizing a general structure of RNA and the bond between nucleic acids forming a RNA molecule, based on the information on said extracted structural elements and a system for performing said method. The system of the present invention comprises the first means for extracting structural elements of a RNA molecule from a database and the second mean for visualizing a structure of the RNA molecule. The system of the present invention will be a great aid for the prediction of a structure of RNA or a bond of a protein-RNA complex because it uses the data kept in protein data bank (PDB) as input data and provides the exact data of structural elements of RNA molecule and a concretely visualized structure.
