Catalysis in RNA is intimately connected to the folding. The small nucleolytic ribozymes function by a nucleophilic attack of the 2'-oxygen on the 3'-phosphate, in an SN2 mechanism. This requires an alignment of the 2'-O, 3'-P and 5'-O, that does not occur in normal A-form RNA. It is therefore likely that structural distortion plays a major role in the

Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2023
Most of the functional RNA elements located within large transcripts are local. Local folding therefore serves a practically useful approximation to global structure prediction. Due to the sensitivity of RNA secondary structure prediction to the exact definition of sequence ends, accuracy can be increased by averaging local structure predictions over ...

Strategies for RNA folding and assembly
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2004RNA is structurally very flexible, which provides the basis for its functional diversity. An RNA molecule can often adopt different conformations, which enables the regulation of its function through folding. Proteins help RNAs reach their functionally active conformation by increasing their structural stability or by chaperoning the folding process ...

Single-molecule experiments significantly expand our capability to characterize complex dynamics of biological processes. This relatively new approach has contributed significantly to our understanding of the RNA folding problem. Recent single-molecule experiments, together with structural and biochemical characterizations of RNA at the ensemble level,

RNA folding: models and perspectives
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2003Intrinsic events during RNA folding include conformational search and metal ion binding. Several experimentally testable models have been proposed to explain how large ribozymes accomplish folding. Future challenges include the validation of these models, and the correlation of experimental results and theoretical simulations.

RNA folding in the presence of counterions
Physical Review E, 2007We present a general thermodynamic picture of the folding of RNA-like heteropolymer based on the basic physical principles. The Hamiltonian of the model includes all characteristic interactions explicitly. A particular attention is paid to the electrostatic interactions whose role in the RNA folding is known to be crucial.

A kinetic model of RNA folding
Biosystems, 1993The RNA folding process is represented as a Markov process with states corresponding to RNA secondary structures and transition probabilities corresponding to transformations of a secondary structure caused by formation or disintegration of a helix. Transition probabilities (kinetic constants) are determined.

RNA folding and combinatory landscapes
Physical Review E, 1993In this paper we view the folding of polynucleotide (RNA) sequences as a map that assigns to each sequence a minimum-free-energy pattern of base pairings, known as secondary structure. Considering only the free energy leads to an energy landscape over the sequence space. Taking into account structure generates a less visualizable nonscalar landscape,''

RNA Folding, Mutation, and Detection
The structure of RNA molecules is absolutely critical to their functions in a biological system. RNA structure is dynamic and changes in response to cellular needs. Within the last few decades, there has been an increased interest in studying the structure of RNA molecules and how they change to support the needs of the cell in different conditions ...Kaitlin E, Klotz, Kausik, Chakrabarti

Protein-facilitated RNA folding
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1997In the absence of protein collaborators, both simple and complex RNAs often misfold or are unfolded. Biologically important RNAs solve their folding problem, in part, using the assistance of chaperone and cofactor proteins. Recent work emphasizes several rules for RNA-protein complexes: formation involves induced fit; many large RNAs fold slowly; and ...
