Our PARCH analysis data show that the sugar–phosphate of the backbone is significantly more hydrophilic than the bases in both DNA and RNA molecules. This observation is a fundamental property of ...

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?

The sugar-phosphate sections of DNA are often referred to as the ‘backbone’ of the DNA structure, while the base pairing is referred to as the ‘rungs’, like those of a rope ladder. DNA is found in the ...

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 ...

Both DNA and RNA are built with a sugar backbone, but whereas the sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose (left in image), the sugar in RNA is called simply ribose (right in image). The "deoxy" prefix ...

This is unlike the negatively charged sugar-phosphate backbone that characterizes DNA and RNA. Consequently, PNAs exhibit a remarkable level of stability and solubility in aqueous solutions, and they ...

Study suggests the possibility that positively charged amino acids were added later to the protein alphabet to fine-tuning of RNA-protein transient interactions but were not explicitly necessary ...
