Reviewed by Roland K.O. Sigel

Natural biochemical processes are continuously being discovered that involve RNA, ' and 'DNA has also proven in recent years to be more than a positive storehouse of information', aptly states Nicholas Hud. The book assembles in 10 chapters a large part of today's knowledge about the 'reactivity' of nucleic acids, focusing on the description of the intimate connection between metal ions and large nucleic acids.

One of the difficulties is that much of our understanding of nucleic acid-metal ion interactions rests on X-ray structure studies involving Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+. Hence, this solid state situation is strongly emphasised. Although the dynamics and kinetics of folding processes are also part of the book, it becomes clear that in the future, comprehensive solution studies of small Read more...
