Enter sequence name:    

Enter the sequence to be folded in the box below. All non-alphabet characters will be removed.
FASTA format may be used. The current limit is 2400 nucleotides.



   

Enter constraint information in the box at the right. (optional) You may:


  1. force bases i,i+1,...,i+k-1 to be double stranded by entering:
    F   i   0   k on 1 line in the constraint box.
  2. force consecutive base pairs i.j,i+1.j-1, ...,i+k-1.j-k+1 by entering:
    F   i   j   k on 1 line in the constraint box.
  3. force bases i,i+1,...,i+k-1 to be single stranded by entering:
    P   i   0   k on 1 line in the constraint box.
  4. prohibit the consecutive base pairs i.j,i+1.j-1, ...,i+k-1.j-k+1 by entering:
    P   i   j   k on 1 line in the constraint box.
  5. prohibit bases i to j from pairing with bases k to l by entering:
    P   i-j   k-l on 1 line in the constraint box.
