A steepest descent calculation of RNA pseudoknots

Biological Physics 2013-05-29 v6 Condensed Matter q-bio

Abstract

We enumerate possible topologies of pseudoknots in single-stranded RNA molecules. We use a steepest-descent approximation in the large N matrix field theory, and a Feynman diagram formalism to describe the resulting pseudoknot structure.
