RNA helicases and RNA helicase-like proteins are the largest group of enzymes in
eukaryotic RNA metabolism and although they are subject to intense ongoing
research there is much confusion about function and classification of these
enzymes. Although these enzymes are essential for virtually all processes
involving RNA, there is no overview detailing structure, function and/or
biological roles of these pivotal proteins. This book provides the first
comprehensive and systematic overview of biology, mechanism, and structure of
RNA helicases and RNA helicase-like enzymes. Research into RNA helicases takes
place in many different fields from cell and developmental biology to
mechanistic enzymology, and structural biology and this book integrates the
knowledge
