Show abstract
A strategy for creating 3D models of non-canonical forms of DNA and RNA is proposed in this research. Through this strategy, models of all possible forms of non-canonical structures created by contacts of single-stranded DNA with sequence (G3T)nG3 and/or duplexes with (G3T)nG3 and (C3A)nC3 fragments were built and tested by MD. In particular, models of stacks formed from right and left twisted quadruplexes; the structure resembling the Holliday structure, with the hole, on the border of which the quadruplex (G4) and the i-motif (IM) were located opposite each other; layers formed from G4s grids were constructed. The most probable of these non-canonical forms arising from contacts of duplexes with (G3T)nG3 for n=1,3,5 were determined by estimating the contributions to the free energy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
