title: A code relating sequence to structure in nucleic acids.
abstract: Nucleic acids are elucidated in configuration space. An algorithm relating sequence to stability in A and B helical secondary structures, is stated to incorporate NMR conformational and optical melting data. This made possible a classification of elementary sequences in terms of configuration forces driving between A and B states, a finding useful in prediction of structural behavior of different sequences of DNA, RNA and their hybrids.
