Detailed Description

Partition Function Cofolding.

To simplify the implementation the partition function computation is done internally in a null model that does not include the duplex initiation energy, i.e. the entropic penalty for producing a dimer from two monomers). The resulting free energies and pair probabilities are initially relative to that null model. In a second step the free energies can be corrected to include the dimerization penalty, and the pair probabilities can be divided into the conditional pair probabilities given that a re dimer is formed or not formed. See [1] for further details.

vrna_dimer_pf_t vrna_pf_dimer ( vrna_fold_compound_t vc,
char *  structure 
)

#include <ViennaRNA/part_func_co.h>

Calculate partition function and base pair probabilities of nucleic acid/nucleic acid dimers.

This is the cofold partition function folding.

Parameters

structureWill hold the structure or constraints
Returns
vrna_dimer_pf_t structure containing a set of energies needed for concentration computations.

#include <ViennaRNA/part_func_co.h>

Compute Boltzmann probabilities of dimerization without homodimers.

Given the pair probabilities and free energies (in the null model) for a dimer AB and the two constituent monomers A and B, compute the conditional pair probabilities given that a dimer AB actually forms. Null model pair probabilities are given as a list as produced by vrna_plist_from_probs(), the dimer probabilities 'prAB' are modified in place.

Parameters
FABfree energy of dimer AB
FEAfree energy of monomer A
FEBfree energy of monomer B
prABpair probabilities for dimer
prApair probabilities monomer
prBpair probabilities monomer
AlengthLength of molecule A

#include <ViennaRNA/part_func_co.h>

Given two start monomer concentrations a and b, compute the concentrations in thermodynamic equilibrium of all dimers and the monomers.

This function takes an array 'startconc' of input concentrations with alternating entries for the initial concentrations of molecules A and B (terminated by two zeroes), then computes the resulting equilibrium concentrations from the free energies for the dimers. Dimer free energies should be the dimer-only free energies, i.e. the FcAB entries from the vrna_dimer_pf_t struct.

Parameters
FEABFree energy of AB dimer (FcAB entry)
FEAAFree energy of AA dimer (FcAB entry)
FEBBFree energy of BB dimer (FcAB entry)
FEAFree energy of monomer A
FEBFree energy of monomer B
startconcList of start concentrations [a0],[b0],[a1],[b1],...,[an][bn],[0],[0]
exp_paramsThe precomputed Boltzmann factors
Returns
vrna_dimer_conc_t array containing the equilibrium energies and start concentrations
