In contrast to proteins, many classes of functionally related RNA molecules show a rather weak sequence conservation but instead a fairly well conserved secondary structure. Hence ...
Abstract. We present three heuristic strategies for folding RNA sequences into secondary structures including kissing hairpin motifs. The new idea is to construct a kissing hairpin...
Pseudoknots are a frequent RNA structure that assumes essential roles for varied biocatalyst cell's functions. One of the most challenging fields in bioinformatics is the pre...
Predicting the secondary structure of an RNA sequence is an important problem in structural bioinformatics. The general RNA folding problem, where the sequence to be folded may con...
Abstract. The lattice approach to biological structural analysis was made popular by the HP model for protein folding, but had not been used previously for RNA secondary structure ...
