Information on our detailed genetic code is increasing at a dramatic pace. We need to understand how that is translated into the three-dimensional structure of proteins in order to make use of the information. Progress in this field is hampered by the lack of precise force fields and of efficient codes for finding equilibrium configurations of heteropolymers. However, there has been rapid advance in recent years, and this volume discusses that.

Genre: Science
ISBN: 1461449545

This volume, written by experts in the field, discusses the current understanding of the biophysical principles that govern RNA folding, with featured RNAs including the ribosomal RNAs, viral RNAs, and self-splicing introns. In addition to the fundamental features of RNA folding, the central experimental and computational approaches in the field are presented with an emphasis on their individual strengths and limitations, and how they can be combined to be more powerful than any method alone; these approaches include NMR, single molecule fluorescence, site-directed spin labeling, structure mapping, comparative sequence analysis, graph theory, course-grained 3D modeling, and more. This volume will be of interest to professional researchers and advanced students entering the field of RNA folding.
