The method for computer calculation of RNA secondary structure is described. The algorithm is based on successive formation of helices in the RNA self-organization process with the generation of random structure sets by the Monte-Carlo mehtod. This way permits constructing RNA secondary structures for rather long sequences (up to 5000 nucleotides) by means of the personal computer without using large memory volumes.References
