DNA Interactions with Drugs and Other Small Ligands

DNA Interactions With Drugs and Other Small Ligands: Single Molecule Approaches and Techniques provides the reader with all the main information, a 'state-of-the-art' of sorts and an overall review of the field. There is no other book currently available that covers all these subjects together. On the contrary, the different subjects that are developed in this book are currently scattered in journal articles and other books. - Presents a review of the fundamental knowledge, techniques and relevant information surrounding the field of DNA interactions with drugs and other ligands - Provides a resource like no other book available - Includes valuable information from the author who is a highly experienced researcher in the field

The author graduated in Physics from the Federal University of Ceará (2001), Master in Physics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (2004) and PhD in Physics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (2008). Since 2008 he has been a professor in the Physics Department at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) in Brazil.
