From the table above, we observed that only 3 out of 15 of our predictions were incorrect, showing promising accuracy of this prediction method. None of the 3 incorrect predictions were false negatives, indicating that the suboptimal structure prediction method should be mostly applied to filtering out switch sequences with low predicted performances.</p> | From the table above, we observed that only 3 out of 15 of our predictions were incorrect, showing promising accuracy of this prediction method.

Although the switch MFE correlates with the expression leakage, this plot showed that the switches with lower MFE also have lower RFP signal in the presence of trigger. This suggests that a low MFE of the switch could also be a hindrance to detection that it increases the energy input to the system (activation energy), so it takes more energy for switch-trigger dimer formation to occur. This could lower the expression level of the switch-trigger dimer. | Although the switch MFE correlates with the expression leakage, this plot showed that the switches with lower MFE also have lower RFP signal in the presence of trigger.

We initially thought that the larger the MFE difference between the sum of the MFE of switch and trigger and that of the switch-trigger duplex, the more favourable the duplex structure will be. However, there seems to be a weak positive correlation between the expression level of the switch+trigger dimer and the MFE difference of a switch. This could be because that a low MFE difference could indicate a more similar conformation of the switch/trigger RNA to the switch+trigger dimer RNA. This could lead to less conformational changes in the dimer formation process, making the process faster. Thus, a small MFE difference could lead to an increased expression level of the switch+trigger dimer. | We initially thought that the larger the MFE difference between the sum of the MFE of switch and trigger and that of the switch-trigger duplex, the more favourable the duplex structure will be.
