5S ribosomal
RNA is an integral component of the large subunit of all cytoplasmic
and most organellar ribosomes.Its small size and association with
ribosomal as well as non-ribosomal proteins made it an ideal model RNA
molecule for studies of RNA structure and RNA-protein interactions.
5srRNA database will have a significant effect on the study of
molecular biology. The purpose of this database is to provide
information on nucleotide sequences of 5SrRNAs for 64 Archaea, 929
Bacteria and 319 Eukaryotes. This database also provides search tools
such as CLUSTALw to identify the conserved regions in the sequences and
BLAST to identify the similar seqences present in the database.
Taxonomic informations in the database gives an idea of classification
of organisms.
