EMBO Conference Series
RNA and Disease:
Sulfur compounds are essential for all organisms, have highly diverse roles
ranging from protein cofactors to substrates of energy metabolism, and
microbial sulfur chemistry has significant impact on the environment.
This symposium covers the many recent advances that have been accomplished
in the field, especially those using molecular and environmental approaches.
