Overview

Fluorescent Analogs of Biomolecular Building Blocks focuses on the design of fluorescent probes for the four major families of macromolecular building blocks. Compiling the expertise of multiple authors, this book moves from introductory chapters to an exploration of the design, synthesis, and implementation of new fluorescent analogues of biomolecular building blocks, including examples of small-molecule fluorophores and sensors that are part of biomolecular assemblies.

Author Information

Marcus Wilhelmsson is an Associate Professor of Biophysical Chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden.  He earned his Ph.D. in 2003 and thereafter entered the field of DNA-nanotechnology. In 2008 he joined Chalmers University of Technology as an Assistant Professor, where he is now working on the design, characterization and application of novel fluorescent nucleic acid base analogues. Yitzhak Tor is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the George and Carol Lattimer Professor at the University of California, San Diego. He earned his Ph.D. in 1990 from the Weizmann Institute of Science and conducted postdoctoral work at the California Institute of Technology. His first faculty appointment was at the University of Chicago, followed by the University of California, San Diego since 1994.
