The oligomer systems chosen for investigation are conceptually regarded as \u0022potentially natural\u0022 and \u0022informational\u0022. A general background of this approach and recent results from the studies on Orotic acid as a recognition element will be presented.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESuch investigations, while hinting at the possibility of finding informational systems that could lay claim as functional ancestors of RNA, are also likely to generate results that give rise to opportunities in assessing the structural and functional uniqueness of RNA.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:loren.williams@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Loren Williams\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-9752).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy, The Scripps Research Institute\n\nA Search for Structural Alternatives of RNA","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy, Scripps Res.
