RNA Secondary Structures: Complex Statics and Glassy Dynamics
Models for RNA secondary structures (the topology of folded RNA) without pseudo knots are disordered systems with a complex state-space below a critical temperature. Hence, a complex dynamical (glassy) behavior can be expected, when performing Monte Carlo simulation. Interestingly, in contrast to most other complex systems, the ground states and the density of states can be computed in polynomi...
متن کاملComplex networks: Statics and Dynamics
We present some of the results obtained during the last 8 years about complex networks. Starting with the collection of data in the form of networks or graphs, we proceed on the characterization at different scales: microscopic, macroscopic, and mesoscopic. We introduce also the basic models incorporating complexity in the pattern of connectivities. Finally we review some results on dynamical f...
متن کاملExact Folding Dynamics of RNA Secondary Structures
Barrier trees consisting of local minima and their connecting saddle points imply a natural coarse-graining for the description of the energy landscape of RNA secondary structures. Here we show that, based on this approach, it is possible to predict the folding behavior of RNA molecules by numerical integration. Comparison with stochastic folding simulations shows reasonable agreement of the re...
متن کاملRNA Secondary Structures
The central dogma of molecular biology states that the flow of information is from DNA, through RNA, to proteins. What this means is that DNA is the storage medium of genomic information, while proteins are the molecules with functional and structural rôles. In this view, RNA is mostly considered a ‘supporting actor’, being the medium used for transporting information from storage to where it i...
متن کاملK-Partite RNA Secondary Structures
RNA secondary structure prediction is a fundamental problem in structural bioinformatics. The prediction problem is difficult because RNA secondary structures may contain pseudoknots formed by crossing base pairs. We introduce k-partite secondary structures as a simple classification of RNA secondary structures with pseudoknots. An RNA secondary structure is k-partite if it is the union of k ps...
