Synopsis

Divided into nine major sections, "Molecular Biology of RNA" covers such areas as the catalytic activity of certain RNA molecules, the mechanism of pre-mRNA splicing, and the regulation of gene expression by antisense RNA and by alternative RNA processing. Recent advances on determination of RNA secondary and tertiary structure and RNA-protein interactions are also discussed in depth as well as diverse activities of RNA in translation and in the replicative cycle of plant infectious agents. Finally, this comprehensive book examines the possibility that RNA had a central role in prebiotic evolution and the origin of life.
