We have already described the FOLD-A code designed for folding mRNA's and single stranded DNA molecules (Nussinov & Pieczenik, 1984). In this paper we describe its application to two long polynucleotide chains: the A protein gene of the MS2 RNA and the whole genome of the phi X 174 phage. The folded form of the single stranded DNA of the phi X 174 is a six armed star with the origin of replication in its center.
我们已经描述了用于折叠信使核糖核酸(mRNA)和单链脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)分子的FOLD-A编码(努西诺夫和皮采尼克,1984年)。在本文中,我们描述了它在两条长多核苷酸链中的应用:MS2核糖核酸的A蛋白基因和φX174噬菌体的全基因组。φX174单链脱氧核糖核酸的折叠形式是一个六臂星型,其复制起点在中心位置。
