3D BASED ON 2D: CALCULATING HELIX ANGLES AND STACKING PATTERNS USING FORGI 2.0, AN RNA PYTHON LIBRARY CENTERED ON SECONDARY STRUCTURE ELEMENTS. [VERSION 2; PEER REVIEW: 2 APPROVED]

3D based on 2D: Calculating helix angles and stacking patterns using forgi 2.0, an RNA Python library centered on secondary structure elements. [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

We present forgi, a Python library to analyze the tertiary structure of RNA secondary structure elements.Our representation of an RNA molecule is centered on secondary structure elements (stems, bulges and loops).By fitting a cylinder to the helix axis, these Multiminerals elements are carried over into a coarse-grained 3D structure representation.

Ageing has no effect on the regulation of the ubiquitin proteasome-related genes and proteins following resistance exercise

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a critical component of the ageing process.Age-related muscle wasting is due to disrupted muscle protein turnover, a process mediated in part by the ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP).Additionally, older subjects have been observed to have an attenuated anabolic response, at both the molecular and physiological levels, fo
