Widely hailed upon its publication in 1980, the first edition of Nobel Laureate Arthur Kornberg's DNA Replication is regarded as a classic of modern science. Kornberg's insights and his descriptions of the enzymology of DNA replication drew together the many aspects of the field within one authoritative volume and made it the standard reference in the field. Now this distinctive work has been completely revised to reflect current research and interpretations. Arthur Kornberg and his coauthor Tania A. Baker have created an exceptional Second Edition that provides the reader with up-to-date coverage of DNA replication and related cellular processes-including excellent summaries of recent work on replication in eukaryotes and bacteria.

Industry Reviews

'It is an excellent reference book on DNA and nucleic-acid enzymes, and every molecular biology laboratory should have a copy for easy access to the principles underlying today's DNA technology...The book is an excellent resource for graduate teaching and should also be a useful source of background material for undergraduate courses in biochemistry.' - Nature
