Base-pair ambiguity and the kinetics of RNA folding

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 1 Comparative Secondary Structures: calibrated ambiguity indexes, by RNA family

The number of molecules, the median length (number of nucleotides), and the median α scores for the T-S ambiguity indexes (Eq. 11) for each of the seven RNA families studied. RNA molecules from the first two families (unbound) are active without necessarily forming ribonucleoprotein complexes; the remaining five are bound in ribonucleoproteins. Molecules from the unbound families have lower ambiguity indexes
