SimRNA - a tool for simulations of RNA conformational dynamics, including RNA 3D structure prediction

 

Program Summary:

SimRNA is a tool for simulations of RNA conformational dynamics (folding, unfolding, multiple chain complex formation etc.), and its applications include RNA 3D structure prediction. SimRNA can be initiated with input files that include either the RNA sequence (or sequences) in a single line (similar to the Vienna format) or in the form of a structure written in PDB format. The PDB format should be simply the structure of the RNA with no heteroatoms or unusual names. In the current version readable residues are A, C, G and U only (i.e. no modified residues are supported as of yet). 

Current version:
The current version is 3.20. 

 

Availability:

SimRNA is available for academic users under the [license] (details enclosed in the license file to be found in each package). Non-academic users and those, who do not accept the license, may NOT download or use the software. A separate commercial license will be issued in the future. Both MacOSX and Linux standalone binary versions of SimRNA3 are available for download.
