Abstract: High levels of structural complexity were once thought to be confined to proteins, but one of the conclusions to emerge from a meeting on RNA structure was that this molecular ‘jack-of-all-trades’ shows an equally high level of structural organization. RNA molecules twist and bend themselves into many different shapes, allowing them to bind metal ions and proteins, and to carry out many diverse functions.
