<font face="Garamond">It gives us great pleasure to inform you that the
NAIMI Congress will be held in Alghero, on the North West of Sardinia, in
the centre of Mediterranean Sea, this September as a satellite symposium
to the Congress in Coordination Chemistry in Florence. This congress is
specifically aimed at those working in the DNA Polymers field and
promises to be a valuable and stimulating occasion. The opportunity for
experts in the general chemical sector to meet those working on the base
of DNA and RNA in an informal setting should lead to interesting
brainstorming sessions, which will undoubtedly be of great use to both
sides.<br>
Yours,<br>

The mini symposium is intended for researchers in the Chemistry of
Nucleic Acids and Metal Ions field. The main objective of the symposium
is to bring together scientists interested in the different aspects of
the influence of metal ions on the structure and metabolism of DNA. The
main topics will be DNA Polymers, nucleic metal proteins, zinc fingers
and PNA.<br>
