Abstract

A wealth of information on RNA folding and ribonucleoprotein assembly has emerged from analyses of structures and from the use of innovative biophysical tools. Although integrating data obtained from static structures with dynamic measurements presents major challenges, such efforts are opening new vistas on the RNA folding landscape.
