About M.E.

I'm a PhD student working with Dr. Wilma K. Olson in understanding RNA Conformations, Motifs and Folds at the nucleotide base step level using a rigid body parameter formalism implemented in the 3DNA software package.
Our current work is focused on the development of a rigid body formalism for RNA helical regions which I am implementing in C++.
We are also working on finding out the sequence dependent deformability of RNA helical regions (Including non-canonical Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions). Such work can be quite useful for obtaining accurate models of small helical RNA's, for example, microRNA's.
