| Abstract | We describe the first two accurate, cubic-time algorithms to compute the conformational entropy $--k_{B}$ $Ī£_{s}$ p (s) p(s) ln p(s) for RNA secondary structures s, with respect to the Turner energy model, where free energy parameters are determined from UV aborption experiments. An algorithm to compute the derivational entropy for RNA secondary structures had previously been introduced, using stochastic context free grammars (SCFGs). However, the numerical value of derivational entropy depends heavily on the chosen context free grammar and on the training set used to estimate rule probabilities. Using data from the Rfam database, we determine that both of our thermodynamic methods, which agree in numerical value, are substantially faster than the SCFG method. Thermodynamic structural entropy values are much smaller than derivational entropy values, and the correlation between length-normalized thermodynamic entropy values and derivational entropy values is moderately weak to poor. Our software RNAentropy can compute structural entropy for any user-specified temperature, and supports both the Turner'99 and Turner'04 energy parameters. Applying our algorithm to the HIV-1 genome indicates that certain genomic regions that harbor important secondary structures have low entropy, when compared to random (dinucleotide shuffled) RNA. This is the case with the --1 frameshift stimulating signal in the gag-pol overlap region. As well, by accounting for change of conformational entropy between the the bound and unbound hybridization complex of hammerhead ribozymes and their mRNA cleavage target, we show an improvement in predicting the hammerhead enzymatic activity (data not shown in this abstract). RNAentropy is state-of-the-art software to compute RNA secondary structure conformational entropy. Upon publication of the journal article, the software will be made available at our web site. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
