Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...
Dr. Chad Mirkin, Director of International Institute for Nanotechnology talks to News-Medical Life Science about the use of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) in vaccinations and treatments for disease, ...
Sequences are nice, but they aren't shapes. To understand a protein, determining its amino acid sequence is a mere first step. Next comes the determination of its structure and, even more complicated, ...
Structural comparison of DNA and the artificial TNA, a Xeno nucleic acid with the natural base pairs AT and GC and an additional base pair (XY). The DNA carries the genetic information of all living ...
The discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...
