The editors have assembled an eclectic collection of articles that give a solid overview of the current state-of-the-art in small molecule-nucleic acid targeting.......
As indicated by its general title, this latest contribution to the Topics in Current Chemistry series is not meant to be comprehensive. Rather, a variety of topics at the forefront of small molecule-nucleic acid biochemistry are discussed in great detail. This volume will be of considerable use both to researchers in the field and to those who wish to move into this exciting area.
