摘要
Secondary structures of polynucleotides can be viewed as a class of planar vertex-labeled graphs. We compute recursion formulae for enumerating a variety sub-classes of and classes of sub-graphs (structural elements) of secondary structure graphs. First order asymptotics are derived and their dependence on the composition of the underlying nucleic acid sequences is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
