NAST 1.0 – Nucleic Acid Simulation Tool

NAST 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

NAST (Nucleic Acid Simulation Toolkit) is a knowledge-based coarse-grained tool for modeling RNA structures. It produces a diverse set of plausible 3D structures that satisfy user-provided constraints based on:

Advertisement

1. primary sequence
2. known or predicted secondary structure
3. known or predicted tertiary contacts (optional)

Additionally, NAST can use residue-resolution experimental data (e.g. hydroxyl radical footprinting) to filter the generated decoy structures.
