RNA molecules kink, bend, loop and twist themselves into a wonderful variety of shapes. These took centre stage in June, at the first meeting devoted solely to RNA structure. Due to the abundance of biologically important RNAs and the development of technical advances to study them, RNA structural biology has now come of age. And it is clear that ribonucleic acids are capable of a level of structural complexity that was once thought to be confined to proteins.
