Translational Control by RNA-RNA Interaction: Improved Computation of RNA-RNA Binding Thermodynamics
[chapter]
Communications in Computer and Information Science
We show here that both components can be efficiently computed using an improved variant of RNAup. The method is then applied to a set of bacterial small RNAs involved in translational control. ...
The thermodynamics of RNA-RNA interaction consists of two components: the energy necessary to make a potential binding region accessible, i.e. unpaired, and the energy gained from the base pairing of the ...
In the results section, we report how these improvements allow us to more precisely describe translational control by bacterial sRNA. ...
