About this book

Mechanisms of Transcription presents a unique perspective on the fundamental processes of transcription. A collection of distinguished authors draws together the underlying mechanisms involved in the process of transcription. This includes RNA polymerase function and its interaction with promoter sequences, and the structures of the various components on the transcriptional machinery. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, NMR and crystallographic structures of a number of important eukaryotic transcription factors are discussed, as well as the role of chromatin structure.

Reviews

"The editors are to be congratulated in assembling an excellent collection of contributions from very eminent authors. This book will make a splendid addition to the shelves of those interested in the biophysics, biochemistry and structural biology of transcription and its regulation." Heredity
