Modern Avenues in Metal-Nucleic Acid Chemistry (Metal Ions in Life Sciences Series) (EPUB)

Volume 25 of the Metal Ions in Life Sciences (MILS) series , Modern Avenues in Metal-Nucleic Acid Chemistry , offers a timely overview of some recent

developments in a field that had previously placed a strong emphasis on coordination principles , structural chemistry and implications for biological processes and medically relevant diseases .

Novel parts of this discipline have more recently evolved as a result of the development of supramolecular chemistry , advances in nano chemistry , and new bioanalytical techniques . By discussing topics including porous materials , non-covalent interactions , stimuli-responsive bioconjugates , DNA-templated metal arrays and nanoclusters, genotyping , guanine quadruplexes and riboswitches , MILS-25 provides a state-of-the-art summary of the current status of research in this area .

It has 15 thorough chapters , 160 figures (90 of them in color) , over 1600 citations and significant input from 40 foreign specialists from Europe , Asia and America . It is a crucial tool for scientists working in a variety of fields , from biology to materials research , via traditional chemistry and physics . It provides an update on the functions of nucleic acid-metal complex bioconjugates . It offers information about coordination polymers with nucleic acid components . It includes a variety of nucleic acids , including RNA and DNA duplexes , triplexes and quadruplexes .
