Rna Mechanics

RNA Mechanics is a biophysical framework that characterizes the mechanical properties and conformational dynamics of RNA molecules under applied forces and cellular conditions, distinguishing it from other RNA biophysical models by its focus on the quantitative relationship between structural deformability, energy landscapes, and functional outcomes in single-molecule and cellular contexts.
