RNA complexes are essential components in many cellular processes. The functions of these complexes are linked to their tertiary structures, which are shaped by detailed interface information, such as binding sites, interface contact, and dynamic conformational changes. Network-based approaches have been widely used to analyze RNA complex structures. With their roots in the graph theory, these methods have a long history of providing insight into the static and dynamic properties of RNA molecules. These approaches have been effective in identifying functional binding sites and analyzing the dynamic behavior of RNA complexes. Recently, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought transformative changes to the field. These technologies have been increasingly applied to studying RNA complex structures, providing new avenues for understanding the complex interactions within RNA complexes. By integrating AI with traditional network analysis methods, researchers can build more accurate models of RNA complex structures, predict their dynamic behaviors, and even design RNA-based inhibitors. In this review, we introduce the integration of network-based methodologies with AI techniques to enhance the understanding of RNA complex structures. We examine how these advanced computational tools can be used to model and analyze the detailed interface information and dynamic behaviors of RNA molecules. Additionally, we explore the potential future directions of how AI-integrated networks can aid in the modeling and analyzing RNA complex structures.
RNA复合物是许多细胞过程中的重要组成部分。这些复合物的功能与其三级结构相关联,而三级结构是由详细的界面信息塑造的,如结合位点、界面接触和动态构象变化。基于网络的方法已被广泛用于分析RNA复合物结构。这些方法起源于图论,长期以来一直有助于深入了解RNA分子的静态和动态特性。这些方法在识别功能性结合位点和分析RNA复合物的动态行为方面很有效。最近,人工智能(AI)的出现给该领域带来了变革性变化。这些技术越来越多地应用于研究RNA复合物结构,为理解RNA复合物内的复杂相互作用提供了新途径。通过将人工智能与传统网络分析方法相结合,研究人员可以构建更准确的RNA复合物结构模型,预测其动态行为,甚至设计基于RNA的抑制剂。在这篇综述中,我们介绍了基于网络的方法与人工智能技术的整合,以加强对RNA复合物结构的理解。我们研究了如何使用这些先进的计算工具来建模和分析RNA分子的详细界面信息和动态行为。此外,我们还探讨了人工智能集成网络在帮助建模和分析RNA复合物结构方面未来可能的发展方向。
