A nucleobase-centered coarse-grained representation for structure prediction of RNA motifs
We introduce the SPlit-and-conQueR (SPQR) model, a coarse-grained (CG) representation of RNA designed for structure prediction and refinement. In our approach, the representation of a nucleotide consists of a point particle for the phosphate group and an anisotropic particle for the nucleoside. The interactions are, in principle, knowledge-based potentials inspired by the $\mathcal {E}$SCORE fu...
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Prediction of RNA Loop Structures
One of the key issues in the theoretical prediction of RNA folding is the prediction of loop structure from the sequence. RNA loop free energies are dependent on the loop sequence content. However, most current models account only for the loop length-dependence. The previously developed "Vfold" model (a coarse-grained RNA folding model) provides an effective method to generate the complete ense...
متن کاملA nucleotide-level coarse-grained model of RNA.
We present a new, nucleotide-level model for RNA, oxRNA, based on the coarse-graining methodology recently developed for the oxDNA model of DNA. The model is designed to reproduce structural, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties of RNA, and the coarse-graining level aims to retain the relevant physics for RNA hybridization and the structure of single- and double-stranded RNA. In order to ex...
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Potential Model for Structural Prediction of Confined Water.
We propose a coarse-grained potential model to predict the concentration and potential profiles of confined water. In this model, we represent one water molecule with one coarse-grained bead, such that the interactions between the coarse-grained beads are given by isotropic two-body potentials. Due to the inherent inhomogeneity of the confined water microstructure, we find that a single spatial...
متن کاملCoarse-grained model for predicting RNA folding thermodynamics.
We present a thermodynamically robust coarse-grained model to simulate folding of RNA in monovalent salt solutions. The model includes stacking, hydrogen bond, and electrostatic interactions as fundamental components in describing the stability of RNA structures. The stacking interactions are parametrized using a set of nucleotide-specific parameters, which were calibrated against the thermodyn...
