Abstract
The Nucleic Acid Package (NUPACK) is a growing software suite for the analysis and design of nucleic acid systems. The NUPACK web server (http://www.nupack.org) currently enables:
Analysis: thermodynamic analysis of dilute solutions of interacting nucleic acid strands.
Design: sequence design for complexes of nucleic acid strands intended to adopt a target secondary structure at equilibrium.
Utilities: evaluation, display, and annotation of equilibrium properties of a complex of nucleic acid strands.
NUPACK algorithms are formulated in terms of nucleic acid secondary structure. In most cases, pseudoknots are excluded from the structural ensemble. ยฉ 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010

In this review I discuss straightforward and general methods to modify nucleic acid structure with disulfide cross-links. A motivating factor in developing this chemistry was the notion that disulfide bonds would be excellent tools to probe the structure, dynamics, thermodynamics, folding, and funct
## Abstract __Intercalating nucleic acids (INAยฎs) with insertions of (__R__)โ1โ__O__โ(1โpyrenylmethyl)glycerol were hybridized with locked nucleic acids (LNAs). INA/LNA duplexes were found to be less stable than the corresponding DNA/LNA duplexes when the INA monomer was inserted as a bulge close t
