Welcome to the home page of the EURASNET Interdisciplinary Focus Meeting, "Frontiers in Structural Biology of RNAs and RNPs". The IFM will take place in Poznań, Poland, on August 16th-18th, 2010.

There has been in the recent years a considerable development both in the methods of studying RNA and RNP structures, and in the knowledge of these structures itself.  Methods such as SAXS, NMR, time-resolved CryoEM, mass spectrometry or CRAC/CLIP have revealed a wealth of information about RNA and RNP secondary and tertiary structures and interactions within the RNP complexes, in both their static and dynamic aspects - and bioinformatics uses this data to construct predictions about structures which have not been experimentally studied.

RNA structural biology will be the focus of the meeting. The conference will take the form of a series of lectures - several of which will be chosen from participants' submissions on the basis of the abstracts they may provide at registration - interspersed with poster sessions and networking events.
