This book provides both in-depth background and up-to-date information in this area. The chapters are organized by general themes and principles, written by experts who illustrate topics with current findings.

Topics covered include, the role of ions and hydration in protein-nucleic acid interactions , transcription factors and combinatorial specificity, indirect readout of DNA sequence, single-stranded nucleic acid binding proteins, nucleic acid junctions and proteins, RNA protein recognition, and recognition of DNA damage.

It will be a key reference for both advanced students and established scientists wishing to broaden their horizons.
