In this article, we proposed a 3D representation of RNA secondary structures. Based on this representation, we outline an approach by constructing a 3-component vector whose components are the normalized leading eigenvalues of the L/L matrices associated with RNA secondary structure. The examination of similarities/dissimilarities among the secondary structure at the 3’-terminus of different viruses illustrates the utility of the approach.
