Project description
Novel multi-RNA binding tool to boost synthetic biology research
In a lock-and-key fashion, RNA-binding proteins bind RNA at one or more RNA-binding domains to modulate gene expression by altering RNA processing and translation. Hundreds of 'keys' have been discovered over the years and recent studies have revealed even more. Characterising their interaction and subsequent biological implications is a huge area of research expected to reveal previously unidentified structures and functions for numerous applications. CARBP is supporting that effort with software to quickly and intelligently design RNA-binding domains and create synthetic DNA libraries. The software will be part of a suite of web-based tools that could tremendously increase the rate of discovery, depth of understanding and ultimate utility of novel molecules involved in gene expression.
