title: Folding of two large nucleotide chains.
abstract: 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.
