    Proceedings oi the Third Meeting of the . .. FederatíonofEuropeañ Biochemical Societies Warsaw.1966 FEBS Symposia Series: Volume 6 Genetic Elements Properties and Function edited by D. Shugar Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics Academy of Sciences arid Departmentof Biophysics University of Warsaw Poland 1967, x +362pp., £4.20 This volume contains contributions by outstanding specialists in sucb fields as enzymatic replication; the structure of nucleic acids; mechanisms of protein • synthesis and of viral replication ; and the properties and genetic role of non-chromosomal DNA. More than a third of the volume is devoted to two special sections, once dealing with the genetic code and the other with nucleotide sequences in transfer and ribosomal RNA. A valuable feature olt^e book is the inclusion of background reviews. Contents Genetic Elements Enzymatic replication of polydeoxynucieotides. The molecular structures of the nucleic acids and their biological significance. The structure of nucleic acids in solution, as determined by X-ray scattering techniques : DNA, RNA, poîy A. Active sites of RNA's. Mitochondrial DNA and other forms of cytoplasmic DNA.,Mechanisms of viral RNA replication. Studies on temperature conditional mutants of E. Coli with a modified aminoacyl RNA synthetase. The mechanism of peptide bond formation in protein synthesis. The Genetic Code : Chairman's introductory remarks. Polynucleotide synthesis and the genetic code. Analysis of the genetic code by amino acid adapting. Studies on the translation of the genetic message with synthetic polynucleotides. Invited comments. Nucleotide Sequences in RNA Chairman's introductory remarks. On the primary structure of transfer ribonucleic acids. Primary structure of the valine transfer RNA. Partial reconstruction of the molecule.'Fractionation of radio-active nucleotides. Properties and function of methyl-deficient phenylalanine transfer RNA. Author index. Subject index.
