A very useful resource that is an up-to-date record of the state of the field...I am sure that this book will remain as a useful resource for many years. ChemBioChem, 2008, 9, 642-645 (Keith Fox) "Quadruplex Nucleic Acids, edited by Stephen Neidle and Shankar Balasubramanian, contains the most up-to-date information in this rapidly growing field, written by worldclass experts. It is an impressive fusion of knowledge, in a format volume of 297 pages, conveniently split into ten chapters." "In summary, I believe Quadruplex Nucleic Acids provides a very comprehensive and up-to-date overview of chemical, physical and biological properties of G-quadruplex structures. The book not only covers these topics and concepts seamlessly, but also leaps into future directions, discussing potential applications of such structures in nanoscience and supramolecular chemistry. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well-written and structured book and broadening my own knowledge on the various subjects discussed. This book will not only be an excellent resource for newcomers and experts in the G-quadruplex field, but also should be extremely informative for chemists, physicists and biologists interested in these fascinating G-quadruplex structures, the origins of which preceded the discovery of double helix by 50 years." -- Natalia Gromak, University of Oxford The Biochemist Evolution
