Abstract

We are presenting NanoFolder, a method for the prediction of the base pairing of potentially pseudoknotted multistrand RNA nanostructures. We show that the method outperforms several other structure prediction methods when applied to RNA complexes with non-nested base pairs. We extended this secondary structure prediction capability to allow RNA sequence design. Using native PAGE, we experimentally confirm that four in silico designed RNA strands corresponding to a triangular RNA structure form the expected stable complex.
