This book provides the most up-to-date review of the simian virus 40 (SV40) minichromosome as a model for the mammalian chromosome in studies of DNA replication. It focuses on disruption of DNA replication by anticancer drugs and DNA-damaging agents. There is a strong emphasis on the unique advantages of SV40 as an experimental system for the analysis of these classes of anticancer drug mechanisms. The new high-resolution gel electrophoresis methods for the analysis of SV40 DNA replication are covered in detail to aid readers in designing and interpreting similar experiments.
- Presents unique advantages of SV40 as an experimental system for the study of classes of anticancer drugs
- Details new high-resolution gel electrophoresis methods for the analysis of SV40 DNA replication
- Provides details to help the reader design and interpret similar experiments
Ideal for researchers, clinicians, specialists, and graduate and upper-level graduate students interested in DNA replication
