MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA’s that controls the regulation of a gene. Due to the over
expression or under expression of miRNAs it leads to cause tumor or any other type of cancers such as,
melanoma, lymphoma, cardiovascular issue, breast cancer etc. So, miRNAs can be used as a drug target for
cancer therapy. This study aimed to check binding cavities of microRNA's involved in regulation of CDK6
protein. There are 23 different families of miRNAs that are involved in regulation of CDK6. Each family
has one or more miRNAs. All these miRNAs are involved in the up regulation or downregulation of a gene,
which lead to different type of cancers. All miRNAs of each family docked with mRNA CDK6 protein.
After performing in silico analysis of binding interactions of mRNA with miRNAs the results were further
refined by their comparison with information regarding their energies, interaction of the mRNA and
miRNAs. The results show that all miRNAs lie in Protein Kinase domain, but the residues that lie is different
within the families and across the families.
