Folding and finding RNA secondary structure.
Optimal exploitation of the expanding database of sequences requires rapid finding and folding of RNAs. Methods are reviewed that automate folding and discovery of RNAs with algorithms that couple thermodynamics with chemical mapping, NMR, and/or sequence comparison. New functional noncoding RNAs in genome sequences can be found by combining sequence comparison with the assumption that function...
متن کاملRNA Secondary Structure Prediction Using Hierarchical Folding
Algorithms for prediction of RNA secondary structure— the set of base pairsthat form when an RNA molecule folds— are valuable to biologists who aim tounderstand RNA structure and function. Improving the accuracy and efficiencyof prediction methods is an ongoing challenge, particularly for pseudoknottedsecondary structures, in which base pairs overlap. This challenge is biologica...
متن کاملRNA folding causes secondary structure rearrangement.
The secondary structure of the P5abc subdomain (a 56-nt RNA) of the Tetrahymena thermophila group I intron ribozyme has been determined by NMR. Its base pairing in aqueous solution in the absence of magnesium ions is significantly different from the RNA in a crystal but is consistent with thermodynamic predictions. On addition of magnesium ions, the RNA folds into a tertiary structure with grea...
متن کاملRNA pseudoknots: folding and finding
RNA pseudoknots are important for function. Three-dimensional structural information is available, insights into factors affecting pseudoknot stability are being reported, and computer programs are available for predicting pseudoknots.
متن کاملRNA secondary structure formation: a solvable model of heteropolymer folding
The statistical mechanics of heteropolymer structure formation is studied in the context of RNA secondary structures. A designed RNA sequence biased energetically towards a particular native structure (a hairpin) is used to study the transition between the native and molten phase of the RNA as a function of temperature. The transition is driven by a competition between the energy gained from th...
