Abstract:
The secondary structure for nucleic acids provides a level of description
that is both abstract enough to allow for efficient algorithms and
realistic enough to provide a good approximate to the thermodynamic and
kinetics properties of RNA structure formation. The secondary structure
model has furthermore been successful in explaining salient features of
RNA evolution in nature and in the test tube. In this contribution we
review the computational chemistry of RNA secondary structures using a
simplified algorithmic approach for explanation.
