The Second assumption in predicting RNA secondary structure is that the energy associated with any position in the structure is _____ influenced by local sequence and structure.(a) only(b) not at all(c) partially(d) neverI have been asked this question at a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from Limitations of Prediction in portion RNA Structure Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer»

Right answer is (a) only

Explanation: The energy ASSOCIATED with a particular base pair in a double-stranded region is assumed to be influenced only by the previous base pair and not by the base pairs farther down the double-stranded region or anywhere else in the structure. These energies can be reliably ESTIMATED by EXPERIMENTATION with small, synthetic RNA oligonucleotides recently IMPROVED to include sequence DEPENDENCE.
