Qfold: a new modeling paradigm for the RNA folding problem
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules play informational, structural, and metabolic roles in all living cells. RNAs are chains of nucleotides containing bases {A, C, G, U} that interact via base pairings to determine higher order structure and functionality. The RNA folding problem is to predict one or m...

| Shrnutí: | Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules play informational, structural, and metabolic roles in all living cells. RNAs are chains of nucleotides containing bases {A, C, G, U} that interact via base pairings to determine higher order structure and functionality. The RNA folding problem is to predict one or more secondary RNA structures from a given primary sequence of bases. From a mathematical modeling perspective, solutions to the RNA folding problem come from minimizing the thermodynamic free energy of a structure by selecting which bases will be paired, subject to a set of constraints. Here we report on a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) modeling paradigm that fits naturally with the parameters and constraints required for RNA folding prediction. Three QUBO models are presented along with a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm. Extensive testing results show a strong positive correlation with benchmark results. |
