title: Crystallization and structure determination of RNA.
abstract: Progress in the synthesis, purification and crystallization of RNA has resulted in the determination of several X-ray crystal structures of RNA molecules over the past few years. Methods proven and under development will lead to future structure determinations and shed light on the structural basis for RNA's many functions.
