In the HiRE-RNA Contest, participants are asked to manipulate RNA structures interactively. These molecules are found in living cells, are very similar to DNA, but perform other functions. Run Molecular Dynamics Simulations at home, pull atoms and discover how these molecules behave and carry out their biological function by means of a molecular visualization software: UnityMol. Participants submit their simulated RNA structures that are evaluated and scored based on energy calculations through our website.
Note added in 2024: The original website http://hirerna.galaxy.ibpc.fr is currently down. Sorry for the inconvenience. We might attempt to revive a snapshot.
