Break RNA Pseudoknots

This is a module unique to RNA, which breaks pseudoknots in an existing structure to determine the lowest free energy structure without pseudoknots.

Breaking Knots in a Pseudoknotted Structure

1. Click the button labeled "Input CT File." A dialog box will open to get the name of a CT file (which must contain pseudoknots).
2. A default name is provided for the output file free of pseudoknots. This can be changed by clicking the "Output CT File" button.
3. Press the "Start" button.
