Pistol ribozyme adopts a pseudoknot fold facilitating site-specific in-line cleavage

open access: yesNature Chemical Biology, 2016
The field of small self-cleaving nucleolytic ribozymes has been invigorated by the recent discovery of the twister, twister-sister, pistol and hatchet ribozymes.

The RNA‐Puzzles Assessments of RNA‐Only Targets in CASP16

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 1, Page 218-229, January 2026.
ABSTRACT RNA‐Puzzles was launched in 2011 as a collaborative effort dedicated to advancing and improving RNA 3D structure prediction. The automatic evaluation protocols for comparisons between prediction and experiment developed within RNA‐Puzzles are applied to the 2024 CASP16 competition.

Pseudoknots in RNA secondary structures

open access: yesProceedings of the fourth annual international conference on Computational molecular biology, 2000
<p>RNA molecules are sequences of nucleotides that serve as more than mere intermediaries between DNA and proteins, e.g. as catalytic molecules. Computational prediction of RNA secondary structure is among the few structure prediction problems that can be solved satisfactorily in polynomial time. Most work has been done to predict structures that

Folding thermodynamics of pseudoknotted chain conformations [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2006
We develop a statistical mechanical framework for the folding thermodynamics of pseudoknotted structures. As applications of the theory, we investigate the folding stability and the free energy landscapes for both the thermal and the mechanical unfolding of pseudoknotted chains.

Impact of the yeast S0/uS2-cluster ribosomal protein rpS21/eS21 on rRNA folding and the architecture of small ribosomal subunit precursors.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
RpS0/uS2, rpS2/uS5, and rpS21/eS21 form a cluster of ribosomal proteins (S0-cluster) at the head-body junction near the central pseudoknot of eukaryotic small ribosomal subunits (SSU). Previous work in yeast indicated that S0-cluster assembly is required

A Graph Grammar for Modelling RNA Folding

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a new approach for modelling the process of RNA folding as a graph transformation guided by the global value of free energy. Since the folding process evolves towards a configuration in which the free energy is minimal, the global behaviour ...

Coordination among tertiary base pairs results in an efficient frameshift-stimulating RNA pseudoknot

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2017
Frameshifting is an essential process that regulates protein synthesis in many viruses. The ribosome may slip backward when encountering a frameshift motif on the messenger RNA, which usually contains a pseudoknot structure involving tertiary base pair ...

Practical Outcomes From CASP16 for Users in Need of Biomolecular Structure Prediction

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 1, Page 435-446, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The 16th Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction benchmarked advancements in biomolecular modeling, particularly in the context of AlphaFold 2 and 3 systems. Protein monomer and domain prediction is largely solved, with barely any space for further improvements at the backbone level except for very specific details, irregular secondary ...

Structure-Function Model for Kissing Loop Interactions That Initiate Dimerization of Ty1 RNA

open access: yesViruses, 2017
The genomic RNA of the retrotransposon Ty1 is packaged as a dimer into virus-like particles. The 5′ terminus of Ty1 RNA harbors cis-acting sequences required for translation initiation, packaging and initiation of reverse transcription (TIPIRT).

Mechanisms of template handling and pseudoknot folding in human telomerase and their manipulation to expand the sequence repertoire of processive repeat synthesis

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2018
Telomerase adds telomeric repeats to chromosome ends by processive copying of a template within the telomerase RNA bound to telomerase reverse transcriptase.
