Nucleic acids are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA and are found in virtually every living cell. Molecular biology is a branch of science that studies the physicochemical properties of molecules in a cell, including nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes. Increased understanding of nucleic acids and their role in molecular biology will further many of the biological sciences including genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology. Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology is intended to bring to light the most recent advances in these overlapping disciplines with a timely compilation of reviews comprising each volume.
* Provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches and ideas in molecular biology * Includes contributions from the leaders in the field * Has abundant referencesFine Tuning the Transcriptional Regulation of the CXCL1 Chemokine; Enzymes that Cleave and Religate DNA at High Temperature: The Same Story with Different Actors; Molecular Mimicry in the Decoding of Translational Stop Signals; Phylogenetics and Functions of the Double-Stranded RNA Binding Motif: A Genomic Survey; Mending the Break: Two DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Machines in Eukaryotes; The Yeast and Plant Plasma Membrane H Pump ATPase: Divergent Regulation for the Same Function; The Genes Encoding Human Protein Kinase CK2 and their Functional Links; Heterochromatin, Position Effects, and the Gentic Dissection of ChromatinCompilation of reviews on topics in molecular biology.PRAISE FOR THE SERIES Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist-for whom the numerous references will be invaluable-but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell. -BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL
