Characterizing RNA-binding ligands on structures, chemical information, binding affinity and drug-likeness.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies suggest RNAs act as promising drug targets. However, limited development has been achieved in detecting RNA-ligand interactions. To guide the discovery of RNA-binding ligands, it is necessary to characterize them comprehensively, especially in the binding specificity, binding affinity and drug-like properties. We established a database, RNALID (http://biomed.nscc-gz.cn/RNALID/html/index.html#/database), which collects RNA-ligand interactions validated by low-throughput experiment. RNALID contains 358 RNA-ligand interactions. Comparing to the fellow database, 94.5% of ligands in RNALID are completely or partially novel collections, and 51.78% have novel two-dimensional (2D) structures. Through the analysis of ligand structure, binding affinity and cheminformatic parameters we
