Journal ArticleDOI

Expanded sequence dependence of thermodynamic parameters improves prediction of RNA secondary structure.

TL;DR: An improved dynamic programming algorithm is reported for RNA secondary structure prediction by free energy minimization and experimental constraints, derived from enzymatic and flavin mononucleotide cleavage, improve the accuracy of structure predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incorporating chemical modification constraints into a dynamic programming algorithm for prediction of RNA secondary structure

TL;DR: A dynamic programming algorithm for prediction of RNA secondary structure has been revised to accommodate folding constraints determined by chemical modification and to include free energy increments for coaxial stacking of helices when they are either adjacent or separated by a single mismatch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved free-energy parameters for predictions of RNA duplex stability

TL;DR: These parameters predict melting temperatures of most oligonucleotide duplexes within 5 degrees C, about as good as can be expected from the nearest-neighbor model.
Book ChapterDOI

Algorithms and Thermodynamics for RNA Secondary Structure Prediction: A Practical Guide

TL;DR: The details of the free energy rules and of the latest version 3.0 software are described and future plans are also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamic parameters for an expanded nearest-neighbor model for formation of RNA duplexes with Watson - Crick base pairs

TL;DR: Improved thermodynamic parameters for prediction of RNA duplex formation are derived from optical melting studies of 90 oligoribonucleotide duplexes containing only Watson-Crick base pairs, and on average, the new parameters predict DeltaG degrees37, DeltaH degrees, DeltaS degrees, and TM within the limit of the model.
