RNA Polymerases as Molecular Motors On the Road 2nd Edition Robert Landick University of Wisconsin, USA | Terence Strick Institut Jacques Monod, France | Jue Wang University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA To thrive, every living cell must continuously gauge and respond to changes in its environment. These changes are ultimately implemented by modulating gene expression, a process that relies on transcription by Nature’s most multivalent molecular machine, the RNA polymerase. This book covers progress made over the past decade understanding how this machine functions to compute the cellular state, from the atomistic structural level responsible for chemistry to the integrative level at which RNA polymerase interacts with the other key molecular machineries of the cell.

About the series ISSN 2041-9716 Series editors Evelyne Sage Institut Curie Centre De Recherche, France | Lesley Rhodes University of Manchester, UK | Massimo Trotta Istituto per i Processi Chimico Fisici- CNR, Italy Initiated by the European Society for Photobiology this series provides comprehensive overviews on specific areas of photoscience, giving in-depth coverage of the very different fields related to light effects. It embraces both well- established and emerging fields and allows investigators, physicians, industrialists and postgraduate students to obtain an updated account in specific areas and a ready access to the recent literature. Importantly, books in this series provide a critical evaluation of the directions that the field is taking. DNA Photodamage From Light Absorption to Cellular Responses and Skin Cancer Roberto Improta Istituto Biostrutture e Bioimmagini, Italy | Thierry Douki CEA Grenoble, France Induction of DNA damage by sunlight is a major deleterious event in living organisms. Recent developments have dramatically improved our understanding of the photochemical processes involved at the sub-picosecond time scale and along with next generation sequencing and data processing has generated a need for a complete up-to-date coverage of the field. Written in an accessible and comprehensive manner, DNA Photodamage will appeal to all scientists working in the area whether specialists in the discipline or not and provides a complete coverage of the field, from ultrafast spectroscopy to biomedical research. Bridging the gap between photophysical and photochemical research on model systems, and in vivo and in vitro biological studies, this book aims to identify the most important research trends in the field and review their major findings. Optical Techniques in Biomedical and Biophysical Sciences Franco Fusi Universita degli Studi di Firenze, Italy | Giovanni Romano University of Florence, Italy Optical Techniques in Biomedical and Biophysical Sciences aims to provide an overview of light sources, together with an extensive and authoritative description of the optical techniques in bio-medicine. This book is designed to give biomedical researchers a strong feel for the capability of physical approaches, promote new interdisciplinary interests and persuade more practitioners to take advantage of optical techniques. Supplemented with videos providing a hands-on description of the techniques and procedures, this book has a technique focused approach ideal for anyone working in this interdisciplinary field.
