Complete RNA inverse folding: computational design of functional hammerhead ribozymes

Nanotechnology and synthetic biology currently constitute one of the most innovative, interdisciplinary fields of research, poised to radically transform society in the 21st century. This paper concerns the synthetic design of ribonucleic acid molecules, using our recent algorithm, RNAiFold, which can determine all RNA sequences whose minimum free energy secondary structure is a user-specified ...

Exploring folding free energy landscapes using computational protein design.

Recent advances in computational protein design have allowed exciting new insights into the sequence dependence of protein folding free energy landscapes. Whereas most previous studies have examined the sequence dependence of protein stability and folding kinetics by characterizing naturally occurring proteins and variants of these proteins that contain a small number of mutations, it is now po...

Irregularity Analysis of Iris Patterns

High irregularity of Iris tissue is the main reason of its usage in identification systems. In some literatures, this irregularity has been known as a result of a stochastic genetic process. In this paper an efficient method based on the Poincaré section and modified version of fractal dimension is used. In fact, this method is introduced a pattern for decision making about series specification...

Protein Folding: Computational Challenges

Mihai Pop May 28, 1996 Abstract We review several results related to the protein folding problem. We start by analyzing the nature of the interactions among protein atoms and their in uence on folding. We then examine several approaches to solve the folding problem, or restricted versions thereof. We conclude with a survey of results related to the computational complexity of the protein foldin...
