RNA three-dimensional (3D) structures are critical for RNA cellular functions. However, structure prediction for large and complex RNAs remains a challenge, which hampers our understanding of RNA structure-function relationship. We here report a new web server, the VfoldLA server (http://rna.physics.missouri.edu/vfoldLA), for the prediction of RNA 3D structures from nucleotide sequences and base-pair information (2D structure). This server is based on the recently developed VfoldLA, a model that classifies the single-stranded loops (junctions) into four different types and according to the loop-helix connections, assembles RNA 3D structures from the loop/junction templates. The VfoldLA web server provides a user-friendly online interface for a fully automated prediction of putative 3D RNA structures using VfoldLA. With a single-RNA or RNA-RNA complex sequence and 2D structure as input, the server generates structure(s) with the JSmol visualization along with a downloadable PDB file. The output result may serve as useful scaffolds for future structure refinement studies.
