Full Description
RNases in Health and Diseases: From Housekeeping Enzymes to Moonlight Proteins aims to provide overall coverage of structural and functional properties of RNases. This book introduces new concepts within the RNase field, such as their recently discovered multifaceted properties, their involvement in the generation of non-coding signaling RNAs and the proposed uses as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. This book is organised into three sections. Section I covers the structure of Rnases and provides an overview of the topic. Section II presents research methods and tools to study RNases. Finally, Section III delves into RNases and diseases. RNases in Health and Diseases: From Housekeeping Enzymes to Moonlight Proteins offers a wider perspective that serves as a resource for both researchers and students engaged in the study of RNases and are willing to acquire an overall background from this field.
