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 from just five different monomers, known as nucleotides; proteins are typically made from 20 different varieties of amino acid.

Panagene licensed the right to sell PNA monomers from the Copenhagen Inventor Group (CIG). The company will synthesize, manufacture, and sell peptide nucleic acids (PNA) monomers.

In contrast, nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA serve as informational macromolecules. DNA stores the cell's genetic information, which is selectively copied into RNA molecules that provide the ...
