RNA structures (DSSR) / Identification of Basepairs - Vertical Seperation
« on: May 15, 2020, 03:47:55 am »
Dear Xiang-Jun,
I am a student at the Technical University Darmstadt, Germany and I am
trying to implement your criteria for the identification of base pairs as described in your 2015 NAR paper.
The second criterion is that the vertical separation between the base
planes is <2.5A. However, as the planes of any two bases are usually not
parallel I am unsure how to calculate the vertical separation.
Could you please clarify the proper algorithm for calculating the
vertical separation between the two base planes?
Kind Regards
Tom Müller
