Description
This comprehensive guide to the physical properties of DNA explores its biological functioning over the last sixty years. By integrating theoretical and experimental approaches, it provides a quantitative understanding of DNA's physical properties, essential for building and analysing models of its functioning.
The book examines key relationships between DNA mechanical properties and sequence specificity in protein binding, using current knowledge of DNA's physical and structural properties to inform analysis. It critically considers theoretical models and experimental methods, enabling readers to engage with the latest scientific literature on DNA's physical properties.
