SCOPE
DNA-protein interactions, including a special session on p53-DNA interactions. The role of DNA structures, with emphasis on multi-stranded DNA structures and the use of modified nucleic acids in gene therapy. Genome structure and dynamics, including molecular components and mechanisms of genome evolution, and large scale organisation of chromosomes. DNA interactions at surfaces and DNA biosensors, including the application of electrodes for the development of new biotechnologies.
