Welcome to the homepage of NACON VIII, the eighth international meeting on recognition studies in Nucleic Acids.

 

There have been seven previous highly successful International Conferences on this subject at The University of Sheffield that were held in 1989, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2007. The Committee of the Nucleic Acids Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry have asked us to organise a eighth Meeting in Sheffield on the same theme. This will take place:


Sunday 12th to Thursday 16th September 2010 at The Edge , The University of Sheffield

 

 

As before, the themes of the Conference will be devoted to interactions between:

 

*      Nucleic Acids : Nucleic Acids

*      Small molecules : Nucleic Acids

*      DNA : Proteins

*      RNA : Proteins

 

 

The focus of the meeting is on all aspcets of Nucleic Acid Recogniton  The Meeting will include more than twenty internationally renowned invited speakers who will deliver either forty-minute plenary or thirty-minute invited lectures. The confirmed speakers for NACON VIII are:
