Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the mechanism by which cells identify and repair a highly toxic form of DNA ...

Nucleic acids, of which DNA is one, are molecules containing a phosphate group, sugar, and a nitrogen-containing base. They were first identified in the late 1860s by Swiss chemist Friedrich Miescher.

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?

Nucleic acids, for example DNA, chemically encode information with a base-4 quaternary code (A,T,C,G). Nucleic Acid Memory (NAM) is a potential alternative to silicon based memory because its ...

Comparing Nucleic Acid Isolation Techniques To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium ...

Nucleic acids, for example DNA, chemically encode information with a base-4 quaternary code (A,T,C,G). Nucleic Acid Memory (NAM) is a potential alternative to silicon-based memory because its ...

A research team describes how they engineered an efficient new enzyme that can produce a synthetic genetic material called threose nucleic acid. The ability to synthesize artificial chains of TNA ...

PKR phosphorylates and inhibits the Ribose 5-Phosphate Isomerase A (RPIA), thereby preventing interconversion of ribulose- to ribose 5-phosphate. This activity preserves redox control but decreases ...

Abstract Nucleic acid deformations play important roles in many biological processes. The physical understanding of nucleic acid deformation by environmental stimuli is limited due to the challenge in ...

An innovative programmable tool for targeting nucleic acids has been created, utilizing a prokaryotic immune defense system—and it is not CRISPR-Cas. Russian Academy of Sciences researchers have ...

First Phosphate (CSE: PHOS) continues to see success in its pilot project initiative, reporting this morning that it has successfully created purified phosphoric acid, or PPA, from phosphate ...
