Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology 4, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1990 Coll. Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology, Vol. 4

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.
