MC-Sym is an intelligent computer system that builds 3D ribonucleic acid structures from low-resolution data by combining symbolic and numerical computations. Specifically, the symbolic step generates all-atom sketches of 3D structures that nonlinear optimization methods can refine in a second step.

RNA Three-Dimensional Structures, Computer Modeling of
The knowledge of the 3-D structure of an RNA molecule gives us indications about which other molecules it can interact with, and how its biochemical function is achieved or can be modified.…
Chapter 15 : RNA tertiary structure prediction
TLDR
This work states that determining rapidly and precisely the tertiary structure and function of non-coding RNAs is a crucial step towards the authors' understanding of several cellular metabolic pathways.

A Fragment Based Approach to RNA Threading
TLDR
The results of this thesis demonstrate that building a target structure based on structure fragments from different template structures is a feasible approach for the RNA structure modeling and prediction problem.
RNAlyzer—novel approach for quality analysis of RNA structural models
TLDR
The RNAlyzer is a computational method for comparison of RNA 3D models with the reference structure and for discrimination between the correct and incorrect models, based on the idea of local neighborhood.
Improvements of the Hierarchical Approach for Predicting RNA Tertiary Structure
TLDR
This work provides an energy function to find the locations of atom clashes and bond stretches and to guide their manual adjustment and a new scheme of molecular dynamics refinement using a tested combination of solvent model and the ff98 Amber force field suitable for RNA.

Computational RNA Structure Prediction
TLDR
The general princi- ples that govern RNA structure are outlined and the databases and algorithms for analyzing and predicting RNA secondary and tertiary structure are described and assessed.
The Prediction of Tertiary Structure of RNA Based upon Secondary Structure by Using the Relaxation Method and Texture Mapping Method
TLDR

The combination of symbolic and numerical computation for three-dimensional modeling of RNA.
TLDR
The program generates 3-D structures of RNA with atomic-level resolution that can be refined by numerical techniques such as energy minimization that reveal this system to be an effective method in modeling RNA.
Quantitative analysis of nucleic acid three-dimensional structures.
TLDR
A new computer program to annotate DNA and RNA three-dimensional structures, MC-Annotate, is introduced, which was used to build databases of nucleotide conformations and base-base interactions and to identify irregular regions and possible stereochemical errors in 3-D structures without interactive visualization.

Modeling active RNA structures using the intersection of conformational space: application to the lead-activated ribozyme.
TLDR
A three-dimensional modeling protocol was used to propose a structure for this ribozyme that suggests an in-line SN2 attack mechanism and predicts two Pb2+ binding sites, and is generally applicable in modeling RNAs whenever the catalytic or binding activity of structural analogues is known.

TLDR
The previous model for the 16 S rRNA is refined, based on biochemical evidence, by fitting it to the cryo-EM contour of ribosomes carrying A and P site tRNAs, and the single-stranded regions of the rRNA are included in the structure with the help of a specially developed modelling programme, ERNA-3D.
A protein conformational search space defined by secondary structure contacts.
TLDR
A conformational search space describing the relative position and orientation of protein secondary structure elements in three-dimensions was defined and a database of all occurrences of spatial relations for five hydrophobic residues was built.
Modeling RNA-ligand interactions: the Rev-binding element RNA-aminoglycoside complex.
TLDR
The similarity between the bound conformations of the ligand from the 3D-SAR analysis and those found in the docking protocol suggests that this methodology is valid for the prediction of bound ligand conformations and the modeling of the structure ofThe ligand-RNA complexes.

TLDR
The locations of sites within the 3D model for the 16 S rRNA (described in two accompanying papers) that are implicated in ribosomal function are described and indicate that the incoming mRNA passes through the well-defined "hole" at the head-body junction of the 30 S subunit.
