The determination in 1953 of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), with its two entwined helices and paired organic bases, was a tour de force in X-ray crystallography. But more ...

WE have formulated a structure for the nucleic acids which is compatible with the main features of the X-ray diagram and with the general principles of molecular structure, and which accounts ...

Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. Our goal is to generate a better understanding of how ...

Moreover, the nucleic acid portion of the virus enables it to reproduce when introduced into a living cell. William H. Stein (1911-1980) and Stanford Moore (1913-1982), who came to Rockefeller as ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...

“Nucleic acid molecules are shielded by nanoparticle delivery systems.” In their review, the authors summarized recent studies on nanoparticle-mediated cancer immunotherapy.

Nucleic acid extraction is a fundamental step in unlocking the genetic information contained within biological samples. Isolated nucleic acids are the basis for a multitude of analyses and ...

Back in the bad old days, dealing with DNA and RNA in a lab setting was often fraught with peril. Detection technologies were limited to radioisotopes and hideous chemicals like ethidium bromide, a… ...

Summary Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a synthetic polymer similar to DNA or RNA. PNA can be said to have been born in Denmark, where it was originally developed by Peter E. Nielsen (University of ...
