Molecular motion underlies all essential activities relating to life. Yet we still know very little about this most important molecular behavior. 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. This symposium 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. During this symposium on RNA in Motion, some the world's leading experimental and computational scientists will convene at Iowa State University. The symposium venue is designed to promote informal discussion and interaction, and potentiate collaborations. It will provide an opportunity for students and new and established investigators to gain a working knowledge of the current state of the field and the researchers who are expanding it.
