CSNA: Classification System for Nucleic Acid structure
determination
CSNA is a computational system to classify RNA structures by its structural
character. In the first step, CSNA lists up all the hydrogen bonds and base-base
stackings in the structures and classify structures to sub-groups based on their
pattern. In the second step, the sub-groups are further classified to groups
based on the frequency score (*) and difference between the patterns.
* Frequency score was defined as the sum of the frequency of existing
hydrogen bonds or base-base stackings for each sub-group. According to the
frequency score, CSNA suggests the most feasible group.
CSNA version 1.0
Please prepare a gzip-compressed tar archive (*.tar.gz) of your structures.
Filename for each structure must be sequentially numbered as file_001.pdb, file_002.pdb...
(or file1.pdb, file2.pdb... etc.).
