Molecular dynamics simulations use atomistic force field to capture RNA folding with high accuracy

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic code, as it is fundamentally involved in gene regulation, processing, and maintenance across all living systems. This versatility is deeply tied to RNA's ability to adopt complex three-dimensional shapes, known as secondary and tertiary structures.
