Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This volume provides relevant synthetic strategies, incorporation, and applications of non-natural nucleic acids. Chapters detail monomer synthesis, oligomer synthesis/construction, and applications allowing researchers to explore and determine which methodology or methodologies are relevant to their needs.  Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. 
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Non-Natural Nucleic Acids: Methods and Protocols aims to serve as a guide for researchers exploring their own inquiries and to provide a springboard for new endeavors.
