Info autore

Alexander Vologodskii began his research career as a theorist, pioneering theoretical studies of knots and links in circular DNA and designing statistical mechanical models and computational methods to predict the appearance of alternative structures in supercoiled DNA. He later ran a research lab at New York University, where he made important contributions to topics related to DNA topology and supercoiling, DNA topoisomerases, and to the physics of DNA bending.

Riassunto

Designed to enable students and researchers of molecular biology, biochemistry and physics to better understand the biophysics of DNA, this text surveys the very latest research. The author integrates theoretical and experimental approaches, emphasizing the importance of quantitative knowledge of physical properties in building and analyzing models of DNA functioning.
