Statistical thermodynamics for RNA structures with simple tertiary contacts and pseudoknots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)In this thesis, we develop statistical mechanical models for the folding of simple RNA tertiary structures. The focus is on the calculation of the tertiary structure conformational entropy. The key idea of the method is ...
