DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

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 ...

Sugar: In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, it is ribose.The sugar forms the backbone of the nucleic acid strand. Phosphate Group: The phosphate group is attached to the sugar and helps ...

Credit: Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library/ What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and answer questions ...

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 ...

If you are studying nucleic acid structures in your lab, you may apply several methods to identify and characterize G4 structures and confirm their formation in your samples.

: Peptoids are oligomers composed of N-substituted glycine monomer units that are sequence-specific heteropolymers, as are many biopolymers, including peptides and nucleic acids. Peptoids are ...

Next Generation Vaccines with Spherical Nucleic Acids (SNAs) from AZoNetwork on Vimeo. At Pittcon 2018, you presented three structural SNAs that had the differing anti-tumor efficiencies.

Most nucleic acid extraction kits use spin-column technology, where DNA or RNA binds to a silica-based membrane in the presence of high concentrations of chaotropic salts, such as guanidine ...
