How to measure the probability of uracil chain tautomers as nucleotide bases in RNA?

The current research focuses on exploring tautomerism in uracil. 47 tautomers were found that varied in significance in RNA and stability. To discover these molecules, diverse potential energy levels were explored, and corresponding transition states were found in these pathways. But the imperative thing that was taken note in this investigation is that for the first time, a method was detailed for the probability of forming distinctive molecules relative to each other. In this method, the conversion of uracil and its tautomers, which together turn into 47 molecules, was composed as a Markov chain. Then, the transition matrix was explained using its support, whose components are the probability of creating molecules from each step. At last, by multiplying this matrix by <b><i>n</i></b> times, the probability of forming different molecules was obtained. Moreover, by solving this matrix at different times, it is conceivable to appear which molecules can be converted to uracil sooner. It was appeared that a few tautomers act as transitory absorption point or temporary terminal states and other molecules, to begin with convert to these molecules before turning into uracil.

Abstract

The current research focuses on exploring tautomerism in uracil. 47 tautomers were found that varied in significance in RNA and stability. To discover these molecules, diverse potential energy levels were explored, and corresponding transition states were found in these pathways. But the imperative thing that was taken note in this investigation is that for the first time, a method was detailed for the probability of forming distinctive molecules relative to each other. In this method, the conversion of uracil and its tautomers, which together turn into 47 molecules, was composed as a Markov chain. Then, the transition matrix was explained using its support, whose components are the probability of creating molecules from each step. At last, by multiplying this matrix by <b><i>n</i></b> times, the probability of forming different molecules was obtained. Moreover, by solving this matrix at different times, it is conceivable to appear which molecules can be converted to uracil sooner. It was appeared that a few tautomers act as transitory absorption point or temporary terminal states and other molecules, to begin with convert to these molecules before turning into uracil.
