面向从头RNA三维结构预测

Towards de novo RNA 3D structure prediction

Sandro Bottaro, Francesco Di Palma, Giovanni Bussi

摘要:

RNA是介导细胞内多种分子过程的一类基本生物分子。计算算法在理解RNA结构与功能关系方面有很大的帮助。该领域的主要挑战之一是结构预测算法的发展,其目的是从序列的唯一知识预测三维(3D)天然折叠。在最近的一篇论文中,我们引入了一个用于RNA结构预测的评分函数。在这里,我们详细分析了该方法的性能,我们强调的优点和缺点,我们讨论的结果与国家的最先进的技术。这些观察结果为改进现有方法提供了一个起点,从而为更准确的RNA 3D结构预测方法的进步铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

RNA is a fundamental class of biomolecules that mediate a large variety of molecular processes within the cell. Computational algorithms can be of great help in the understanding of RNA structure-function relationship. One of the main challenges in this field is the development of structure-prediction algorithms, which aim at the prediction of the three-dimensional (3D) native fold from the sole knowledge of the sequence. In a recent paper, we have introduced a scoring function for RNA structure prediction. Here, we analyze in detail the performance of the method, we underline strengths and shortcomings, and we discuss the results with respect to state-of-the-art techniques. These observations provide a starting point for improving current methodologies, thus paving the way to the advances of more accurate approaches for RNA 3D structure prediction.
