Summary

"DNA to DNA transitions are spectacular events involving phenomenal biochemical and topological complexity and astounding requisites for precision and control. Molecular Mechanisms in DNA Replication and Recombination offers a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and recombination and their regulation. The book represents a thorough picture of the various topological forms that the DNA double helix can assume, and the way in which these forms can recognize and interact with their cognate bindings proteins and enzymes. This volume features the work of X-ray crystallographers, structural chemists, and nucleic acid enzymologists to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas, experimental approaches, and techniques. It assesses major advances in the field such as: the ways in which replication od duplex DNA genomes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic are initiated, the replication potential of SV40 (the state of phosphorylation of large T antigen and presumably its host cell analogue) and ori C (the functional interaction of the DNA protein with phospholipids, and presumably the cell membrane), the structure and dynamics of DNA polymerase action, and the molecular mechanism of site specific and homologous recombination. Molecular Mechanisms in DNA Replication and Recombination is of importance to scientists involved in nucleic acid research, molecular biology, enzymology, and celluar biochemistry." --
