Complex RNA molecules are at the heart of a number of fundamental biological processes, including translation, tRNA maturation, and RNA splicing. [1] The unique threedimensional structures adopted by these molecules determine their activity and in some cases, such as the assembly of the spliceosome,
A linear segment in which a number of pairs of intervals of equal length are identified as potential stems is the subject of a folding problem analogous to inference of RNA secondary structure. A quantity of free energy (or equivalently, energy per unit length) is associated with each stem, and the
The global structures of branched RNA species are important to their function. Branched RNA species are defined as molecules in which double-helical segments are interrupted by abrupt discontinuities. These include helical junctions of different orders, and base bulges and loops. Common helical junc
A mechanism for heavy chain binding protein (BiP)-and protein disul"de isomerase (PDI)mediated protein folding and assembly has been proposed. It considers BiP chaperoning action and PDI catalytic activity. A kinetic model has been developed based on the proposed mechanism. The model was used for qu
We implement a neural network associating a two-state unit to each pair of bases in a random RNA sequence. A Watson-Crick base-pair becomes the structural realization of an activated unit. Accordingly, a secondary structure is associated to a neural pattern. The coupling tensor is constructed taking
