Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology [Hardcover]

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.Nuclear-Receptor-Mediated Transactivation through Interaction with Sp Proteins; Site-Specific DNA Damage Recognition by Enzyme-Induced Base Flipping; Bacteriophage T2Dam DNA-[N6-adenine]-methyltransferases; Site-Specific Recombination and Partitioning Systems in the Stable High Copy Propagation of the 2 Micron Yeast Plasmid; Did an Early Version of the Eukaryal replisome Enable the Emergence of Chromatin?; Initiation and Elongation Factors in Mammalian Mitochondrial Protein Biosynthesis; Cyclin Dependent Kinase 11 in RNA Transcription and Splicing; The Eukaryotic Ccr4-Not Complex: A Regulatory Platform Integrating mRNA Metabolism with Cellular Signaling Pathways?; Signaling Repression of Transcription by RNA Polymerase III in Yeast.A well-respected compilation 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.
