3dDNA: A Computational Method of Building DNA 3D Structures
Yi Zhang; Yiduo Xiong; Yi Xiao
Considerable progress has been made in the prediction methods of 3D structures of RNAs. In contrast, no such methods are available for DNAs. The determination of 3D structures of the latter is also increasingly needed for understanding their functions and designing new DNA molecules. Since the number of experimental structures of DNA is limited at present, here, we propose a computational and template-based method, 3dDNA, which combines DNA and RNA template libraries to predict DNA 3D structures. It was benchmarked on three test sets with different numbers of chains, and the results show that 3dDNA can predict DNA 3D structures with a mean RMSD of about 2.36 Å: for those with one or two chains and fewer than 4 Å: with three or more chains.
