RNA Folding under the Microscope: How Molecular Dynamics Shapes Understanding
Introduction: Why RNA Folding Matters Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is more than a messenger of genetic information. It plays diverse roles in gene regulation, processing, and maintenance across life’s domains. Understanding how RNA folds into its functional three-dimensional shapes is central to biology and medicine. In recent years, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have emerged as a…
