In this paper, we propose a method to predict tertiary structure of an RNA sequence. Our prediction method would first find the secondary structure of the given RNA sequence. We then use the relaxation method to predict the 3-space structure of it. Experimental results show that our method is quite feasible. We tested our approach on 731 RNA's. 179 of them got a complete match, 391 of them got 90% match and 161 of them got 80% match.
