RNA-Protein Interactions (Frontiers in Molecular Biology)

By Iain W. Mattaj

The study of RNA-protein interactions is crucial to understanding the mechanisms and control of gene expression and protein synthesis. The realization that RNAs are often far more biologically active than was previously appreciated has stimulated a great deal of new research in this field. Uniquely, in this book, the world's leading researchers have collaborated to produce a comprehensive and current review of RNA-protein interactions for all scientists working in this area. Timely, comprehensive, and authoritative, this new Frontiers title will be invaluable for all researchers in molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology. Contents List: Structure of RNA; Prediction and experimental investigation of RNA secondary and tertiary foldings; Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNA recognition; RNA-protein interactions in ribosomes; RNA-protein interactions in RNase P; Structure and function of hnRNP proteins; RNA-protein interactions in the splicing of snRNPs; Interaction of 5S with TFIIIA; Control of human immunodeficiency virus gene expression by the RNA-binding proteins tat and rev; Using peptides to study RNA-protein recognition; Study of RNA-protein recognition by in vitro selection.
