Opis

This book is an introduction to the novel physical tools that allow single molecule manipulation and visualisation. It describes the use of these tools to understand the elastic properties of single molecules of DNA and RNA and to study their interactions with the many proteins that process them.

Recenzje

this book is helpful for different audiences... The volume is very well written and enjoyable to read. Robert Ros, The Quarterly Review of Biology

O autorze

David Bensimon and Vincent Croquette have been co-leaders of a group at the LPS-ENS that has been studying single DNA molecules and their interactions with proteins since 1991. Jean-François Allemand, Terence Strick and Xavier Michalet have been their students and collaborators ever since. They have jointly developed magnetic traps and have been studying various aspects of single molecule DNA/protein transactions. Since joining the lab of Professor S. Weiss at UCLA , Xavier Michalet has been focusing on the use of fluorescent and spectroscopic methods to study single biomolecules.
