Synopsis

Many processes in the genetic life of the cell require the specific interaction between proteins and D.N.A. . While D.N.A. is normally thought of as a straight double helix, it can be distorted by bending and twisting. These alterations are critical to a number of cellular processes, including transcription, recombination, and the repair of D.N.A. damage. An interesting group of proteins has the important role of recognizing and manipulating D.N.A. structure. This book draws together findings from different areas in molecular biology to elucidate the importance of D.N.A. structure in the interactions between proteins and D.N.A., and to generate a new perspective on these vital processes. The book is intended for researchers and graduate students in molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many processes in the genetic life of the cell requires the specific interaction between proteins and DNA. While DNA is normally thought of as a straight double helix, it can be distorted by bending and twisting, and these alterations are critical to a number of cellular processes. These include transcription (by which the genetic message is read), recombination (rearrangements by which new combinations of genes come about), and the repair of DNA damage. An interesting group of the proteins have the important role of recognising and manipulating DNA structure. This book draws together themes from different parts of molecular biology to bring out the importance of DNA structure in the interactions between proteins and DNA, and generates a new perspective on DNA-protein interactions.
