Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division.

Physicists at the University of Basel have developed a new method that allows them to study the elasticity and binding properties of DNA molecules on a surface at very low temperatures. Using a ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...
