  Summary: We introduce RBPBind, a web-based tool for the quantitative
prediction of RNA-protein interactions. Given a user-specified RNA and a
protein selected from a set of several common RNA-binding proteins, RBPBind
computes the binding curve and effective binding constant of the reaction in
question. The server also computes the probability that, at a given
concentration of protein, a protein molecule will bind to any particular
nucleotide along the RNA. The software for RBPBind is adapted from the Vienna
RNA package, whose source code has been modified to accommodate the effects of
single stranded RNA binding proteins. RBPBind thus fully incorporates the
effect of RNA secondary structure on protein-RNA interactions. Availability:
