Synthesizing topological structures containing RNA
Though knotting and entanglement have been observed in DNA and proteins, their existence in RNA remains an enigma. Synthetic RNA topological structures are significant for understanding the physical and biological properties pertaining to RNA topology, and these properties in turn could facilitate identifying naturally occurring topologically nontrivial RNA molecules. Here we show that topologi...
متن کاملShapes of topological RNA structures.
A topological RNA structure is derived by fattening the edges of a contact structure into ribbons. The shape of a topological RNA structure is obtained by collapsing the stacks of the structure into single arcs and by removing any arcs of length one, as well as isolated vertices. A shape contains the key topological information of the molecular conformation and for fixed topological genus there...
متن کاملStatistics of topological RNA structures.
In this paper we study properties of topological RNA structures, i.e. RNA contact structures with cross-serial interactions that are filtered by their topological genus. RNA secondary structures within this framework are topological structures having genus zero. We derive a new bivariate generating function whose singular expansion allows us to analyze the distributions of arcs, stacks, hairpin...
متن کاملOn Topological RNA Interaction Structures
Recently a folding algorithm of topological RNA pseudoknot structures was presented in Reidys et al. (2011). This algorithm folds single-stranded γ-structures, that is, RNA structures composed by distinct motifs of bounded topological genus. In this article, we set the theoretical foundations for the folding of the two backbone analogues of γ structures: the RNA γ-interaction structures. These ...
متن کاملTopological classification of RNA structures.
We present a novel topological classification of RNA secondary structures with pseudoknots. It is based on the topological genus of the circular diagram associated to the RNA base-pair structure. The genus is a positive integer number whose value quantifies the topological complexity of the folded RNA structure. In such a representation, planar diagrams correspond to pure RNA secondary structur...
