## Translate RNA from HELM notation to multi-string notation

### Description

This function translates RNA molecules encoded in HELM notation into multi-string notation. It uses dictionary which links HELM code for base, sugar and backbone elements with symbols used in multi-string notation.

### Usage

    helm2String(helm, dictionary = xna_dictionary, remove_linker = TRUE)

### Arguments

`helm` | string with HELM sequence, which contains one RNA polymer and optionally CHEM element
`dictionary` | data.table with following columns: "HELM", "type", "symbol". By default internal XNAString dictionary is used.
`remove_linker` | logical defines if linker should be clipped from RNA
