Fluorescent Analogs Of Biomolecular Building Blo Cks: Design And Applications

The first book to serve as both an introduction and state-of-the-art biophysical applications of fluorescent probe, Fluorescent Analogues of Biomolecular Building Blocks focuses on design, synthesis, and implementation of new fluorescent analogues of biomolecular building blocks. Featuring a chapter by Nobelist Roger Tsien, the text focuses on designing fluorescent probes for the four major families of macromolecular building blocks and summarizes the most important and general contributions discussing fluorescent probes that were designed to shed light on biological processes.

Marcus Wilhelmsson is an Associate Professor of Biophysical Chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden.? He earned his Ph.D. in 2003 and thereafter entered the field of DNA-nanotechnology. In 2008 he joined Chalmers University of Technology as an Assistant Professor, where he is now working on the design, characterization and application of novel fluorescent nucleic acid base analogues.
