Contents |
Characterization of metal ion-nucleic acid interactions in solution -- Nucleic acid-metal ion interactions in the solid state -- Metal ion-promoted conformational changes of oligonucleotides -- G-quadruplexes and metal ions -- Metal ion-mediated DNA-protein interactions -- Spectroscopic investigations of lanthanide ion binding to nucleic acids -- Oxidative DNA damage mediated by transition metal ions and their complexes -- Metal ion-dependent DNAzymes and their applications as biosensors -- Emantioselective catalysis at the DNA scaffold -- Alternative DNA base pairing through metal coordination -- Metal-mediated base pairs in nucleic acids with purine- and pyrimidine-derived nucleosides -- Metal complex derivatives of peptide nucleic acids (PNA) |
Summary |
Annotation Interplay between Metal Ions and Nucleic Acids provides in an authoritative and timely manner in 12 stimulating chapters, written by 24 internationally recognized experts from 8 nations, and supported by nearly 1500 references, about 20 tables, and 125 illustrations, many in color, a most up-to-date view on metal ion-nucleic acid interactions; the characterization of which is covered in solution and in the solid state. The volume concentrates on modern developments encompassing topics in the wide range from G-quadruplexes via DNAzymes, catalysis at the DNA scaffold, and metal-mediated base pairs to peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) being thus of relevance, e.g., for chemistry and nanotechnology but also for molecular biology and (genetic) diagnostics |
