Description

Molecular biology has always been a discipline of rapid development. Despite this, we are presently experiencing a period of unprecedented proliferation of information in nucleic acid studies and molecular biology. These areas are intimately interwoven, so that each influences the other to their mutual benefit. The rapid growth in information leads to ever-increasing specialization, so that it becomes increasingly difficult for a scientist to keep abreast of developments in all the various aspects of the field, although an up-to-date knowledge of the field as a whole is highly desirable. With this background in mind we present the series "Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology." It comprises focused review articles by active researchers who report on the newest developments in their areas of particular interest.
Volume

v. 3 ISBN 9783540508083

Description

A wide range of topics are covered, including articles on nucleic acid structure, through their interactions with proteins to the control of gene expression. A number of authors address the subject of RNA, including the difficult but important subject of its chemical synthesis, the complexities of its structures and the mechanisms of transcript splicing. The probing of DNA structure is reviewed in papers on the application of hydroxyl radical and 1,10 phenanthroline copper cleavages. A number of important DNA-protein interactions are discussed, including DNA polymerase, the tryptophan and deoR repressors, and the resolvase enzymes which cleave Holliday junctions in recombination. Gene transcription is also covered, from the points of view of DNA methylation, mammalian ribosomal and avian lysozyme genes, and the control of transcription in the proto-oncogene c-fos. Finally, the plant kingdom has not been forgotten with articles on development and transposition in plants.
Volume

v. 4 ISBN 9783540524076

Description

Molecular biology is one of the most rapidly developing and at the same time most exciting disciplines. The key to molecular biology lies in the understanding of nucleic acids - their structure, function, and interaction with proteins. Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology was created to keep scientists abreast of the explosively growing information and to comply with the great interest in this field.

Table of Contents

From the contents: A new class of DNA structured types at low pH.- Interaction of DNA with a cis-platinum antitumor drug.- Topology of DNA wrapped around proteins.- Several new aspects of recombination.- Strength of bacterial promoters.Physicochemical data of EG70RNA polymerase.- Long-range chromosomal organization and transcription in bacteria and eukaryotes.- HIV as an example of integrated genetic control.- DNA-binding proteins in the development of Drosophila.- RNA folding.- Hammerhead ribozymes as RNA-self-cleavage structures.- Splicing of mammalian mRNA.- mRNA editing.- RNA recognition.
Volume

v. 5 ISBN 9783540531210

Description

Molecular biology is one of the most rapidly developing and at the same time one of the most exciting disciplines. The key to the subject lies in the understanding of nucleic acids their structure, function and interaction with proteins. "Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology" keeps scientists informed of the growing body of information concerning the subject and complies with the interest that exists about this field. Volume 5 of the series opens with a review of DNA-structures commonly found in the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes. It turns to the topics of DNA-repair and replication and in-depth studies of DNA-polymerase I, which leads to the exciting and rapidly changing area of DNA-protein interactions emphasizing aspects of sequence recognition and specificity. A view on the control of gene expression with examples of retroviruses such as HIV or transgenic animals for eukaryotes concludes the book.
