Evolutionary algorithm for a reconstruction of NOE paths in NMR spectra of RNA chains

J. BLAZEWICZ, M. SZACHNIUK and A.WOJTOWICZ
 
Resonance assignment remains one of the hardest stages in RNA tertiary structure determination with the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. We propose an evolutionary algorithm being a tool for an automatization of the procedure. NOE pathway, which determines the assignments, is constructed during an analysis of possible connections between resonances within aromatic and anomeric region of 2D-NOESY spectra resulting from appropriate NMR experiments. Computational tests demonstrate the performance of the evolutionary algorithm as compared with the exact branch-and-cut procedure applied for the experimental and simulated spectral data for RNA molecules.
 
Keywords:
NMR, NOE path, RNA tertiary structure, evolutionary algorithm, branch-and-cut algorithm.
