G-Quadruplex DNA

Methods and Protocols

Herausgegeben: Baumann, Peter

Beschreibung

Recent work has revealed that stabilizing G-quadruplexes in telomeric DNA inhibits telomerase activity, providing impetus for the development of G-quartet-interacting drugs, while G-quartet-containing oligonucleotides have been recognized as a potent class of aptamers effective against STAT3 and other transcription factors implicated in oncogenesis, proving these guanine-quartets to be a vital and rich area for future study. In "G-Quadruplex DNA: Methods and Protocols", experts in the field present a collection of detailed techniques for studying G-quartet formation, dynamics, and molecular recognition. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series format, chapters include brief introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, "G-Quadruplex DNA: Methods and Protocols "promises to be a useful resource for those familiar with G-quartets as well as an easy entry point for those researchers from diverse fields who are just developing an interest in the exciting implications of G-quadruplex DNA.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book G-Quadruplex DNA ... provides an excellent collection of important methods for the study of the DNA G-quadruplex structures. ... I definitely recommend this book, which can be considered an outstanding source of information that addresses several problems ... in the investigation of G-quadruplex structures. The book is appropriate for everyone working in the area of G-quadruplex research, including biologists, biochemists and chemists since it is a worthy guide for both beginners and experienced scientists interested in studying this increasingly attractive field." (Aldo Galeone, ChemBioChem, Issue 11, September, 2010)
