Nucleic Acid Secondary Structure
Stemloop and Mfold
In Nucleic acids, inverted repeat sequences
may indicate foldback (self pairing)structures.

STEMLOOP
StemLoop finds stems (inverted repeats) within a sequence.
You specify the minimum stem length (number of nucleotides in a paired
stretch), minimum and maximum loop sizes, and the minimum number of
bonds per stem (length of nucleotide sequence between the paired regions).
Vertical bars ('|') indicating
the
base
pairs.
The
associated loop is shown to
the right of the stem. If either
the stem or loop is too long
to be displayed in its entirety
on the line, then only that
part that fits on the line is
shown. The first and last
coordinates of the stem are
displayed on the left, and the
length of the stem (size), the
number of bonds in the stem
(quality), and the loop size
are shown on the right.

MFOLD
Using energy minimization criteria, any predicted "optimal" secondary
structure for an RNA or DNA molecule depends on the model of
folding and the specific folding energies used to calculate that
structure. Different optimal foldings may be calculated if the folding
energies are changed even slightly. Because of uncertainties in the
folding model and the folding energies, the "correct" folding may not
be the "optimal" folding determined by the program. You may therefore
want to view many optimal and suboptimal structures within a few
percent of the minimum energy. You can use the variation among
these structures to determine which regions of the secondary structure
you can predict reliably. For instance, a region of the RNA molecule
containing the same helix in most calculated optimal and suboptimal
secondary structures may be more reliably predicted than other
regions with greater variation.

Exercise 08-4
Primer Selection
Use the human npm cDNA sequence you obtained in
Exercise06 as query
to design a pair of primers that will copy the
whole coding sequence when
translated in frame.
THEN
Check the specificity of the primers by using BLAST.
