Figure 7:
Dynamic analysis of the wildtype 3_6, 3_3, and 3_5 systems. (Left) Dominant motions of the threaded 77-nt 3_6 pseudoknot (RNAComposer), 77-nt 3_3 pseudoknot (iFoldRNA), and 77-nt 3_5 junction (SimRNA) extracted by principal component analysis (PCA). (Right) Flexibility of the three conformations as reflected by root mean square fluctuations (RMSF). For the 3_6 and 3_3 pseudoknots, the RMSF is shown for the common 77-nt region at various lengths; for 3_5 junction, RMSF at 77-nt. The different stem regions are colored and labeled.
