Understanding DNA by Horace Drew
The functional properties of any molecule are directly related to, and affected by, its structure. This is especially true for DNA, the molecular that carries the code for all life on earth. The third edition of Understanding DNA has been entirely revised and updated, and expanded to cover new advances in our understanding. It explains, step by step, how DNA forms specific structures, the nature of these structures and how they fundamentally affect the biological processes of transcription and replication. Written in a clear, concise and lively fashion, Understanding DNA is essential reading for all molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics students, to newcomers to the field from other areas such as chemistry or physics, and even for seasoned researchers, who really want to understand DNA.
Praise for previous editions: "Stylish..beautifully crafted, with a logical step-by-step approach to the subject. A book from which the advanced undergraduate will benefit and which will also generate a refreshing perspective for experts" --NATURE "Understanding DNA is a great book that will surely prove to be a valuable teaching tool." --THE BIOCHEMIST "A systematic and comprehensive analysis of the structure of DNA from a wonderfully fresh perspective." --TRENDS IN GENETICS
Chris Calladine ist Professor emeritus fur strukturelle Mechanik der Universitat Cambridge. Er hat nicht nur viele Aspekte der strukturellen Ingenieurwissenschaften erforscht, sondern hat die Methoden der strukturellen Mechanik auch auf die Erforschung von Bakterienflagellen, DNA und Proteinen angewandt. Horace Drew gelangen zusammen mit Richard Dickerson vom Caltech (California Institute of Technology) einige der ersten rontgenologischen Darstellungen von DNA-Kristallen; anschliessend widmete er sich funf Jahre lang gemeinsam mit Aaron Klug im MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge (England) der Erforschung von DNA- und Chromosomenstrukturen. Er lebt heute in Australien und ist Principal Research Scientist im CSIRO Molecular Science Laboratory in Sydney. Ben Luisi erforschte gemeinsam mit Max Perutz in Cambridge die Struktur des Hamoglobins und untersuchte spater Protein-DNA-Interaktionen zusammen mit Paul Sigler an der Yale University. Er ist Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow an der biochemischen Fakultat der Universitat Cambridge. Andrew Travers ist Wissenschaftler im MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge (England). Er erforschte die Transkriptionssteuerung bei Bakterien und Fliegen, das Aufwickeln von DNA in Nucleosomen und die Funktion von HMG-Proteinen in Zellen.
