Description

Description 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. Importance of Topic Increased understanding of nucleic acids and their role in molecular biology will further many of the biological sciences including genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology. Why This Title Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches, and ideas in molecular biology. It contains contributions from leaders in their fields and abundant references.

Reviews

@from:Praise for the Serial @qu:"In perusing these chapters, I found much of interest. It is worth investigating." @source:--P. Brickell in BIOTECHNOLOGY AND APPLIED BIOCHEMISTRY @qu:"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." @source:--BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL
