Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules, encoding and regulating the expression of hereditary information within living organisms 1. The biological importance of nucleic acids has prompted the use of ...

Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...

Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are polymers of nucleotides – each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group and one of the nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids ...

Everything on Earth is made of atoms, most of which are closely packed together in the form of minerals. Life has its uses for minerals—ask a coral reef—but its essence lies in atoms arranged as ...

Our research teams focus on all aspects of nucleic acids in health and disease, with the goal of better understanding basic processes and developing therapeutic interventions to improve human health.

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living ...

Water, organic molecules, and inorganic ions are the constituents of cells. Water constitutes the greatest fraction of the three, accounting for almost three-quarters of the total mass of a cell. The ...

When our body fights an infection, the immune system must quickly activate defenses and trigger a beneficial inflammatory response. But it is just as important to resolve that inflammation and return ...

This is the NAG’s annual meeting, bringing together the Nucleic Acids Research community to showcase and discuss new research involving nucleic acids at the chemistry-physics-biology interface.

Thermo Scientific’s novel Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence technology is at the core of the NanoDrop One instrument, enabling the provision of comprehensive sample quality information by identifying ...
