During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable
growth in the field of molecular biology. In 1950 very little was
known of the chemical constitution of biological systems, the
manner in which in formation was transmitted from one organism to
another, or the extent to which the chemical basis of life is
unified. The picture today is dramati cally different. We have an
almost bewildering variety of information detailing many different
aspects of life at the molecular level. These great advances have
brought with them some breath-taking insights into the molecular
mechanisms used by nature for replicating, distributing and
modifying biological information. We have learned a great deal
about the chemical and physical nature of the macromolecular
nucleic acids and proteins, and the manner in which carbohydrates,
lipids and smaller mole cules work together to provide the
molecular setting of living systems. It might be said that these
few decades have replaced a near vacuum of information with a very
large surplus. It is in the context of this flood of information
that this series of mono graphs on molecular biology has been
organized. The idea is to bring together in one place, between the
covers of one book, a concise assess ment of the state of the
subject in a well-defined field."
