## Function Documentation

vrna_sol_TwoD_t* vrna_mfe_TwoD | ( | vrna_fold_compound_t * | vc,
|  | int | distance1,
|  | int | distance2
| ) |  |

`#include <ViennaRNA/2Dfold.h>`

Compute MFE's and representative for distance partitioning.

This function computes the minimum free energies and a representative secondary structure for each distance class according to the two references specified in the datastructure 'vars'. The maximum basepair distance to each of both references may be set by the arguments 'distance1' and 'distance2', respectively. If both distance arguments are set to '-1', no restriction is assumed and the calculation is performed for each distance class possible.

The returned list contains an entry for each distance class. If a maximum basepair distance to either of the references was passed, an entry with k=l=-1 will be appended in the list, denoting the class where all structures exceeding the maximum will be thrown into. The end of the list is denoted by an attribute value of INF in the k-attribute of the list entry.

Parameters

  vc | The datastructure containing all precomputed folding attributes
  distance1 | maximum distance to reference1 (-1 means no restriction)
  distance2 | maximum distance to reference2 (-1 means no restriction)

Returns
  A list of minimum free energies (and corresponding structures) for each distance class

char* vrna_backtrack5_TwoD | ( | vrna_fold_compound_t * | vc,
|  | int | k,
|  | int | l,
|  | unsigned int | j
| ) |  |

`#include <ViennaRNA/2Dfold.h>`

Backtrack a minimum free energy structure from a 5' section of specified length.

This function allows to backtrack a secondary structure beginning at the 5' end, a specified length and residing in a specific distance class. If the argument 'k' gets a value of -1, the structure that is backtracked is assumed to reside in the distance class where all structures exceeding the maximum basepair distance specified in vrna_mfe_TwoD() belong to.

Note
  The argument 'vars' must contain precalculated energy values in the energy matrices, i.e. a call to vrna_mfe_TwoD() preceding this function is mandatory!

  vrna_mfe_TwoD()

Parameters

  vc | The datastructure containing all precomputed folding attributes
  j | The length in nucleotides beginning from the 5' end
  k | distance to reference1 (may be -1)
  l | distance to reference2

`#include <ViennaRNA/2Dfold.h>`

Get a structure of type TwoDfold_vars prefilled with current global settings.

This function returns a datastructure of type TwoDfold_vars. The data fields inside the TwoDfold_vars are prefilled by global settings and all memory allocations necessary to start a computation are already done for the convenience of the user

Note
  Make sure that the reference structures are compatible with the sequence according to Watson-Crick- and Wobble-base pairing

This function allows to backtrack a secondary structure beginning at the 5' end, a specified length and residing in a specific distance class.
