This book is one of the volumes in the
Biomolecular Sciences Series, published
by the Royal Society of Chemistry, which
is designed to report on advances made
at the interface between the chemical
and biological sciences. This volume
gives an excellent overview of the work
being done in the exciting areas of dis-
covering agents that exhibit selectivity
and sequence specificity for DNA, with
the aim of finding means to regulate
gene expressions and eventually em-
ploying the drugs for treating cancers.
The book covers diverse aspects of the
DNA binding modes of drugs and antibi-
