Recently we have received a NSF grant helping to build the community networks and find solutions for the challenging problems. We have also discussed with the program officer of US National Science Foundation on planning for a research conference/workshop series
proposal to US NSF. This conference/workshop series will particularly focus on the technical issues and practical challenges in structural biology of nucleic acids, protein-nucleic acid complexes and small molecule-nucleic acid complexes. These challenges
include crystallization, derivatization, phasing and high-resolution structure determination. <o:p></o:p></div>
