Description

Many biological processes rely absolutely on interactions between the two most abundant large molecules living organisms, proteins and RNA. The basis of these interactions is, however, very poorly understood. The world's leading researchers in this field provide here a detailed up-to-date review of what is going on in this field. This book is intended for molecular biologists, biochemists, geneticists and structural biologists (postgraduate researchers and above) working with RNA.

Description

The realization that RNAs may be more biologically active than was previously appreciated has stimulated a great deal of new research and the field is likely to continue to expand for some time. The study of RNA protein interactions is crucial for understanding the molecular biology of, for example gene expression and protein interactions. These include discussions of what is important to give RNA structure, how to analyse RNA protein interaction both in a biochemically and structually, detailed descriptions of the best known examples, and discussions of biological systems that depend on RNA protein interactions for their function. This book is intended for molecular biologists, biochemists, geneticists and structural biologists (post-graduate researchers and above) working with RNA.
