Boulder, Colo.-based Proligo, under license from Danish biotech firm Exiqon, is now marketing a novel class of nucleic acid analogs called locked nucleic acids (LNA™). Sporting increased thermal ...

Co-polymerization of glycol nucleic acid monomers with dicarboxylic acids in simulated early Earth drying environments readily gives rise to plausible prebiotic xeno nucleic acid co-polymers ...

Nucleic acids are made of biopolymers, which are naturally-occurring, repeated sets of monomers (making polymers) that then create nucleotides, which form nucleic acids.

Molecules of DNA, one of life’s two types of nucleic acid, are far longer still. The shortest DNA molecules found in humans are about 17,000 nucleotides long; the longest consist of over 100m.

According to a recent report by Market.us, the Global Nucleic Acid Extraction Instruments & Reagents Market size is expected to be worth around USD 12.4 Billion by 2033 from USD 5.2 Billion in 2023, ...

Company believes it can grow the PNA market beyond the current 5% share it holds of the DNA/RNA synthesis business. Panagene licensed the right to sell PNA monomers from the Copenhagen Inventor ...

The use of nucleic acid amplification tests of “minipools” of 16 samples to screen blood donors for West Nile virus RNA began in July 2003. We report the yield and characteristics of positive ...

Any of the monomers that occur naturally in the biological cell can be synthesised in the laboratory by an organic chemist. When this is done, the product, say an amino acid, is a 50-50 mixture of ...
