Research by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists centers on RNA, a nucleic acid that plays a crucial role in most ...

CASPERSSON'S work 1 on the nucleic acid metabolism suggests that an appreciable turnover of the nucleic acid present in the nuclei of tissue cells may take place. This fact induced us to determine ...

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 (NA)-based therapies ...

As a waste product of metabolism, urine carries a wide range ... natural breakdown of cells through apoptosis or necrosis. Urinary cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a valuable source of nucleic acids for ...

Fully assembled, the sequence of base pairs is a compound molecule called a nucleic acid. Living organisms are constantly building new cells or repairing old ones. To do this they have to make ...

So far as is known today, uric acid serves ... end product of purine metabolism. The metabolically important purines, adenine and guanine, serve as building blocks for nucleic acids and as ...

His approach was to observe the differences in nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) metabolism among protozoa, normal human cells, and abnormal cells (e.g., cancer cells, bacteria and viruses). Hoping to ...

The findings were published on January 7 in the journal Nucleic Acids ... produced by inositol metabolism enzymes serve as ...

The inner shell condenses the nucleic acid; the outer shell protects it from the immune system so it can circulate freely and target cancer cells," he said. "We're mimicking the strategies of ...
