Recensione

`With its emphasis on the biochemistry that has led to so much of our knowledge of nucleic acids, this text is a valuable complement to other works that concentrate on the contribution made by more genetic approaches.'
Nature
`This book is very readable with helpful diagrmas, and an extensive bibliography at the end of each chapter; thus it is useful not only for third year undergraduate courses, but also as a basic reference book.'
New Scientist
`The authors have contiued to select their material to fulfil the requirements of advanced undergraduate, and graduate, students in biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology ... The book is very readable and profusely illustrated, and embraces most of the current trends in molecular biology.'
Febs Letters
