Overview
Nucleic acids are central to much of contemporary molecular science. This 2nd edition text integrates the chemistry and biology of the nucleic acids in an introductory yet authoritative format and sets the basics in the context of the expanding horizons set by modern structural biology, enzymology, drug discovery and biotechnology. The book is intended for graduate students of chemistry and biochemistry, final year undergraduates in chemistry and biochemistry, as well as researchers new to the field.

Reviews
From reviews of the first edition: There are many current textbooks available on molecular biology, but few that focus on the chemistry of a central player - the nucleic acids. This text fills that void with introductory, authoritative and up-to-date coverage. --Nature An interesting feature which will be especially welcomed by students, is the presence of color-highlighted brief summaries at the end of chapter sections and occasionally also of subsections. This book should prove of value for undergraduate or graduate students in chemical or biological sciences interested in molecular aspects of nucleic acids, whatever department they may be associated with. The book will also find a place on the shelf of many whose research investigations are on one or another aspect of nucleic acids. --Biochemical Education
