Structural prediction of RNA switches using conditional base-pair probabilities.

An RNA switch triggers biological functions by toggling between two conformations. RNA switches include bacterial riboswitches, where ligand binding can stabilize a bound structure. For RNAs with only one stable structure, structural prediction usually just requires a straightforward free energy min...
