A Comprehensive Database of Nucleic Acid Structure

为了了解核酸的性质， 它们被蛋白质识别的机制， 必须了解精细结构和耦合的细节 序列和结构数据。 我们的目标是建立一个数据库 核酸结构和结构特征， 计算机查询结构特征， 结构之间的特征和序列-结构关系。 为实现这一目标，所有可用的小学和计算 关于核酸晶体结构的信息将被 组装成关系数据库。 该系统将是 它将是便携式的，化学家和生物学家都可以使用 在大量的计算机环境中。

In order to understand the properties of nucleic acids and the mechanisms by which they are recognized by proteins, it is essential to understand the details of fine structure and couple the sequence and structure data. Our goal is to develop a database of nucleic acid structures and structural features so as to allow computer queries about structural characteristics, correlations of features among structures, and sequence-structure relationships. The achieve this goal, all of the available primary and calculated information about crystal structures of nucleic acids will be assembled into a relational database. The system that will be created will be portable and accessible to chemists and biologists in a large number of computer environments.
