Overview

Many biological processes rely absolutely on interactions between the two most abundant large molecules living organisms, proteins and RNA. The basis of these interactions is, however, very poorly understood. The world's leading researchers in this field provide here a detailed up-to-date review of what is going on in this field. This book is intended for molecular biologists, biochemists, geneticists and structural biologists (postgraduate researchers and above) working with RNA.

This book covers an impressive array of topics, which are normally pigeonholed into more specific areas of research. It was refreshing to see such diverse subjects as RNA structure, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, ribosomal proteins and in vitro selection discussed in a single volume. . .The editors and authors should be commended for this admirable text. It captures the breadth and complexity of RNA-protein recognition for the first time and represents a challenge for the future. --Current Biology<br> A wide range of interesting topics is covered in RNA-Protein Interactions, and even experts are sure to learn something new. The book is an excellent resource for researchers in the field, with each chapter providing an extensive list of references. ... The reader gets an accurate picture of state-of-the-art research in this field, as well as a sense of excitement and anticipation for what the future holds. -- Biophysical Journal<br>

`these books are not intended for bedtime reading but will prove to be invaluable 'cook books' for all experiments involving RNA ... It is hard to fault the choice of topics covered or the authors prevailed upon to write them ... I feel that these books are a must for any laboratory seriously interested in RNA; I am delighted that the writing of this brief review has resulted in their arrival in mine.' N.J. Proudfoot, University of Oxford, TIG, June 1995, Vol. 11 No. 6 `this book takes us on an exciting journey through various systems ... an excellent source of original references ... this book has its place on the bookshelf in any laboratory dealing with ribonucleoproteins and has the potential to be a useful tool for anyone interested in RNA-protein interactions - we highly recommend it.' Leif A. Kirsebom and Anders Virtanen, Uppsala University, Trends in Cell Biology, Vol. 5, December 1995 `The editors and authors should be commended for this admirable text. It captures the breadth and complexity of RNA-protein recognition for the first time, and represents a challenge for the future ... strongly recommended for researchers in the field, both students and their teachers.' Joseph D. Puglisi, Current Biology `the book is and, I predict, will remain a great primer for the field ... I strongly recommend this book ... It is a must for investigators in the field and would be a great asset to students entering into molecular biology.' Mariano A. Garcia-Blanco, Duke University Medical Center, Vol. 21, No. 1 - Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Jan '96 `This is a timely and well presented book covering a broad field that has been previously rather neglected.' Roger A. Garrett, FEBS Letters 375 (1995) `This timely, new monograph entitled RNA-Protein Interactions provides an excellent overview of some of the key discoveries and the current state of research in this rapidly growing field. As a result, the book provides a nice blend of background information and relevant techniques, along with detailed discussions of some of the latest results and future directions in the field. The book is an excellent resource for researchers in the field ... I would also strongly recommend it to newcomers to the RNA-protein world. The reader gets an accurate picture of state-of-the-art research in this field, as well as a sense of excitement and anticipation for what the future holds.' Biophysical Journal, Volume 70, February 1996 `The book will be valuable to both researchers and research students in biochemistry and molecular biology.' Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 60, No. 8, Aug 1995
