Published in association with International Society for Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids (IS3NA) , Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry is equally valuable for biotech, pharmaceutical, and academic labs. It is the resource for designing and running successful research projects in the rapidly growing and changing field of nucleic acid, nucleotide, and nucleoside research.

Updated every three months in all formats, CPNAC is constantly evolving to keep pace with the very latest discoveries and developments. A year of these quarterly updates is included in the initial CPNAC purchase price. That's 500 pages of new (66%) and revised (34%) content on average every year since the initial publication of the work in February 2000! Presently two volumes in its looseleaf print version, CPNAC...

• draws from the unique set of chemistries that has arisen from the application of current methods to the synthesis of modified nucleic acids for structure-function studies, potential therapeutic agents, and as tools for molecular biology.
• covers basic to advanced techniques for the synthesis, modification, purification, analysis, and utilization of nucleic acids, nucleotides, and nucleosides.
