BIOINFORMATICS INVESTIGATION OF RNA PSEUDOKNOTS
Pseudoknots are a special kind of RNA structures that play functional roles in a wide variety of biological processes. Pseudoknots are best known for their involvement in the −1 programed ribosomal frameshifting (−1 PRF) and stop codon readthrough translational recoding events as the stimulatory …

Review of algorithms for RNA secondary structure prediction with pseudoknots
Pseudoknots are structures that are formed from the base pairing of an RNA secondary loop structure with a complementary base which lies somewhere outside of the loop. The result is a structure, which plays a vital role in cell structure rigidity, regulation of protein synthesis, and in the …

STRUCTURAL STUDY OF HUMAN CATENIN ΒETA-LIKE PROTEIN 1 AND DOUBLE RNA PSEUDOKNOTS IN -1 RIBOSOMAL FRAMESHIFTING
… especially AID. Project 2 -- study of double pseudoknots in the regulation of -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting in RNA viruses −1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) is utilized by many viruses to synthesize their enzymatic and structural proteins at a defined ratio. For efficient −1 …

Data mining in computational proteomics and genomics
… to align two known RNA secondary structures with pseudoknots taking into account both sequence and structure information of the two RNAs. A new method, called RKalign, is proposed in this dissertation for aligning two known RNA secondary structures with pseudoknots. RKalign adopts the partition …

Algorithm development for RNA structure prediction in RNA viruses
… can be challenging, especially when it comes to pseudoknots, long-range interactions, and mutually exclusive interactions or switches. Furthermore, separating biologically relevant structures from the vast number of interactions that could theoretically form can be problematic. Since the …

Graphical methods in RNA structure matching
… of the following problems: they do not consider pseudoknots, which are important in many catalytic and regulatory structures; they do not consider near minimum free energy structures, which is important as many RNAs exist as an ensemble of structures of nearly equal energy; they require many …
