Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology, Volume 75 (Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology)

Nucleic acids are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA and are found in virtually every living cell. Molecular biology is a branch of science that studies the physicochemical properties of molecules in a cell, including nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes. Increased understanding of nucleic acids and their role in molecular biology will further many of the biological sciences including genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology. Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology is intended to bring to light the most recent advances in these overlapping disciplines with a timely compilation of reviews comprising each volume. * Provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches and ideas in molecular biology * Includes contributions from the leaders in the field * Has abundant references Content: Contents Pages v-viii Some Articles Planned for Future Volumes Page ix Molecular Regulation, Evolutionary, and Functional Adaptations Associated with C to U Editing of Mammalian ApolipoproteinB mRNA Review Article Pages 1-41 Shrikant Anant, Valerie Blanc, Nicholas O Davidson Polymorphisms in the Genes Encoding Members of the Tristetraprolin Family of Human Tandem CCCH Zinc Finger Proteins Review Article Pages 43-68 Perry J.
