HARIBOSS

Harnessing RIBOnucleic acid - Small molecules Structures

Welcome

HARIBOSS is a curated database of RNA-small molecules structures retrieved from the PDB. HARIBOSS is regularly updated with all the structures resolved by X-ray, NMR, and cryo-EM, in which ligands with drug-like properties interact with RNA molecules. Each HARIBOSS entry is annotated with physico-chemical properties of ligands and RNA pockets. HARIBOSS provides researchers with a tool to aid the development of rational design strategies to target RNA with small molecules.
