Abstract:The shape that organic molecules such as biopolymers form within organic systems largely determines the function said molecules perform. RNA is a biopolymer that plays a central part in several stages of protein synthesis, and also has structural, functional, and regulatory roles in the cell. In an ab initio case most common structure prediction techniques employ minimization of the free energy of a given RNA molecule via a thermodynamic model. RnaPredict is an evolutionary algorithm for RNA folding. This pape… Show more
