Modern Avenues in Metal-Nucleic Acid ChemistryJens MüllerLabel: CRC PressDescription: Volume 25 entitled Modern Avenues in Metal-Nucleic Acid Chemistry of the series Metal Ions in Life Sciences (MILS) provides a timely overview of selected relevant developments in a field which previously had a pronounced focus on fundamental chemistry aspects such as coordination principles structural chemistry and consequences for biological processes and disease-related medicinal issues. More recently also as a consequence of the advent of supramolecular chemistry advancements in nanochemistry and new bio-analytical methods novel aspects of this field have emerged. MILS-25 gives a state-of-the-art account on the present state of research in this field addressing among others porous materials non-covalent interactions stimuli-responsive bioconjugates DNA-templated metal arrays and nanoclusters genotyping guanine quadruplexes and riboswitches. It consists of 15 comprehensive chapters with over 1600 citations 160 figures (90 of them in color) with key contributions from 40 international experts from Europe Asia and America. It is an essential resource for scientists from numerous disciplines ranging from materials science to biochemistry by way of classical chemistry and physics.It offers an update on nucleic acid – metal complex bioconjugates and their applicationsIt provides an insight into coordination polymers involving nucleic acid componentsIt covers a wide range of nucleic acids from DNA duplexes triplexes and quadruplexes to RNA
