or through the Main Menu→Actions→Analyze                    
or through the Sequence Context Menu→Analyze             

This is what the mfold dialog looks like

Input parameters

The tool is passed explicit and implicit parameters. Explicit parameters are set in the dialog, implicit parameters are taken from the sequence context.

ParameterUnitDefaultLimitsDescription
Temperature°C37[0,100]

The folding temperature is fixed at 37°C for RNA, but can take any integer value within acceptable limits for DNA.

Ionic conditionsMNa=1[0,1.5]

Ionic conditions are used to enter total monovalent (for Na) and divalent (Mg) ions concentrations.

Ionic conditions may be altered for DNA folding only. For RNA, the ionic conditions are fixed in default values.


Mg=0
