Symposium on 'RNA in motion', Ames, US
9 September 2010 - 9 September 2010
United States
A symposium on 'RNA in motion' will take place in Ames, US from 9 to 12 September 2010.
Molecular motion underlies all essential activities relating to life; ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are among some of the most versatile and mobile macromolecules. The role of molecular motion in function has been studied in a variety of RNAs from very small aptamers and riboswitches to the much larger ribosome. At the same time, very little is known about this important molecular behaviour.
This event will explore RNA motions and their consequences for function in the ribosome, viral RNAs, molecular motors and small molecules including riboswitches, aptamers and ribozymes.
In addition there will be a session on computational approaches to predict RNA folding and simulate intramolecular movements.
The symposium is designed to promote informal discussion, interaction and potential collaboration.For further information, please visit:
