Abstract
Helix, Hairpin, Bulge, external loop, internal loop, multi-branch loop are the elements of RNA secondary structure. We have designed a neural network to classify the RNA sequence in to three categories i.e Hairpin, helix, neither of two. This can be extended to classify into all secondary structure elements. If all the elements are predicted then we can determine the entire structure of a RNA family. The parameters of neural network affect the performance of the network. But there are no rules to define the value of these parameters of network. For a given problem the optimal value of parameters can be obtained by performing the experiments on their values. This paper shows the effect on the performance of classification by varying the number of hidden layers, number of neurons and activation functions.
