Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit ... to form the iconic double helix structure. RNA is usually single-stranded but can form complex secondary structures through ...

A nucleic acid is a long molecule made up of smaller molecules called nucleotides. Nucleic acids were discovered in 1868, when twenty-four-year-old Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher isolated a ...

Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. The structure and chemistry of nucleic acids is ...

The nucleic acid molecules inherited by the living cell bear the plan of all the cell's protein molecules. It now appears that another kind of nucleic acid plays a key role in translating the plan ...

not nucleic acid, but by the late 1940s, DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule. Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand how it worked.

As early as 1943 Oswald Avery proved what had been suspected: that DNA, a nucleic acid, carries genetic information ... a shadow picture of the molecule's structure, by how the X-rays bounced ...

The Purdue University Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) reviews research protocols involving the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA), synthetic nucleic acids, and/or biohazardous ... The functions and ...

The group was formed in 2003, having previously been a special interest group (The Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology Group) of both the RSC and the Biochemical Society. The purpose of the group is ...

Nucleic acids are the backbone of molecular biology research. As such, preservation of their integrity and purity is fundamental for genomic research. Low quality samples can lead to inconsistent ...
