Secondary structure of the 3'-untranslated region of yellow fever virus: implications for virulence, attenuation and vaccine development.
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
A genetic algorithm-based RNA secondary structure prediction was combined with comparative sequence analysis to construct models of folding for the distal 380 nucleotides of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of yellow fever virus (YFV). A number of structural elements that are thermodynamically stable, conserved in shape, and confirmed by compensatory mutations were revealed. At the same time structural...
