Martini coarse-grained force field: Extension to RNA
Open accessAbstract
RNA has an important role not only as the messenger of genetic information but also as a regulator of gene expression. Given its central role in cell biology, there is significant interest in studying the structural and dynamic behavior of RNA in relation to other biomolecules. Coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations are a key tool to that end. Here, we have extended the coarse-grain Martini force field to include RNA after our recent extension to DNA. In the same way DNA was modeled, the tertiary structure of RNA is constrained using an elastic network. This model, therefore, is not designed for applications involving RNA folding but rather offers a stable RNA structure for studying RNA interactions with other (bio)molecules. The RNA model is compatible with all other Martini models and opens the way to large-scale explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations of complex systems involving RNA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
