This four part symposium features a variety of topics that are at the frontier of nucleic acids science. This symposium will promote the discussion of the chemical and physical aspects of nucleic acids, including catalysis, structure, interactions with proteins and small molecules and more. Oral presentations are by invitation only, but contributed papers for the associated poster session are encouraged.
