We have developed a nonredundant proteinRNA docking benchmark dataset, which is derived from the available bound and unbound structures in the Protein Data Bank involving polypeptide and nucleic acid chains. It consists of nine unboundunbound cases where both the protein and the RNA are available in the free form. The other 36 cases are of unboundbound type where only the protein is available in the free form. The conformational change upon complex formation is calculated by a distance matrix alignment method, and based on that, complexes are classified into rigid, semi-flexible, and full flexible. Although in the rigid body category, no significant conformational change accompanies complex formation, the fully flexible test cases show large domain movements, RNA base flips, etc. The benchmark covers four major groups of RNA, namely, t-RNA, ribosomal RNA, duplex RNA, and single-stranded RNA. We find that RNA is generally more flexible than the protein in the complexes, and the interface region is as flexible as the molecule as a whole. The structural diversity of the complexes in the benchmark set should provide a common ground for the development and comparison of the proteinRNA docking methods. The benchmark can be freely downloaded from the internet. Proteins 2012. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
