Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids Toolbox

A Biosynth .pdf E-Book

Part 1 – Nucleosides and Nucleotides Chemistry, Structures, Modifications Analysis, Applications

Nucleosides and nucleotides, along with their analogs, as well as oligomers and polymers derived from them, play a pivotal role in the realm of living organisms. This handbook has been crafted to serve as a fundamental introduction and concise summary for individuals intrigued by this category of molecules. It constitutes the initial volume in a two-part series dedicated to nucleotides, nucleosides, and nucleic acids. In this first handbook, we delve into their structure, historical significance, and chemical properties, along with highlighting some of their significant applications in the fields of life sciences and medicine. Rather than striving for absolute comprehensiveness, these books are curated to gather essential concepts, narratives, advancements, and practical uses within both commercial and research contexts.

This handbook places its emphasis on exploring the aspects related to structure, analysis, and synthesis. Meanwhile, the second handbook, the counterpart to this volume, delves into the narrative of their oligomers, including the pivotal DNA and RNA molecules, which serve as the carriers of genetic information. Together, these two handbooks form a complementary pair that presents a comprehensive account, spanning from the basic building blocks to intricate oligomeric structures.
