Quadruplex Nucleic Acids As Targets For Medicinal Chemistry (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The realisation that human, animal, viral and bacterial genomes all contain over-representation of higher-order quadruplex structures in regulatory and other pharmacologically-useful regions, has led to a large number of studies aimed at exploiting this findings for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Quadruplex-binding small molecules are starting to be evaluated in human clinical trials. - Provides the authority and expertise of leading contributors from an international board of authors - Presents the latest release in the Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry series
