基本説明
Featuring more than 10,000 references, it is a timely update to the original edition published in 1995. Features a 12-page full-color insert and over 700 illustrations, including protein structures. Divided into five main parts: sources and consequences of DNA damage; correcting altered bases in DNA: DNA repair; DNA damage tolerance and mutagenesis; regulatory responses to DNA damage in eukaryotes; and disease states associated with defective biological responses to DNA damage.
Full Description
An essential resource for all scientists researching cellular responses to DNA damage. * Introduces important new material reflective of the major changes and developments that have occurred in the field over the last decade. * Discussed the field within a strong historical framework, and all aspects of biological responses to DNA damage are detailed. * Provides information on covering sources and consequences of DNA damage; correcting altered bases in DNA: DNA repair; DNA damage tolerance and mutagenesis; regulatory responses to DNA damage in eukaryotes; and disease states associated with defective biological responses to DNA damage. This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
