NAST (Nucleic Acid Simulation Toolkit) is a knowledge-based coarse-grained tool for modeling RNA structures. It uses user-provided information about primary sequence, secondary structure, and tertiary contacts (optional) of an RNA to produce a diverse set of 3D structures that satisfy these constraints. PLEASE NOTE that this package includes an older version of C2A (for adding full atomic detail to coarse grain structure). We highly recommend you download and use the newest version of C2A from its own project page: http:simtk.org/home/c2a
