title: An improved algorithm for the prediction of optimum and suboptimum folding structures of long single-stranded RNA.
abstract: We have previously reported an algorithm (Yamamoto and Yoshikura, 1985) for the prediction of optimum and suboptimum RNA folding structures. The calculation data was presented as an 'information map'. However, the result was affected by the starting point of calculation. In this paper, we have improved the method so that the result will not be affected by the starting point. In addition, we present a method of converting the information map into a set of pictures of optimal and suboptimal molecular structures.
