AComparisonOfTheTwoStructures 21 Oct 2008 - 10:23 - r1.2 TWikiGuest
-- TWikiGuest 21 Oct 2008 // The two structures are dissimilar. This result is expected because: // 1. The input sequence is the full sequence of one particular Type I hammerhead ribozyme. // 2. The RFAM structure is a consensus structure for the FAMILY of Type I hammerhead ribozymes. Therefore, it does not represent the full structure of the ribozyme, but rather, just the portion that is conserved throughout the RNA family. //
