Synopsis

Many processes in the genetic life of the cell require 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. These alterations are critical to a number of cellular processes, including transcription, recombination, and the repair of DNA damage. An interesting group of proteins has the important role of recognizing and manipulating DNA structure. This book draws together findings from different areas in molecular biology to elucidate the importance of DNA structure in the interactions between proteins and DNA, 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.
