DNA is a linear biopolymer, a compound biomolecule in the form of a double helix. Polymers are made of monomers, and in DNA, ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger surrogate polymers, and he cofounded sequencing company Stratos Genomics back in ...

E. coli bacteria could be used to create biodegradable plastics, reports a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology. The ...

In 1970, biochemist Robert Wells of the University of Alabama at Birmingham saw something strange in his X-ray images of a new synthetic DNA polymer. The DNA molecule was composed of the traditional ...

A number of polymer-based synthetic systems, or 'vectors', have been developed to entice cells to use exogenous DNA. These systems work across the nano, micro and macro length scales, and have ...

Interconnected materials containing networks are ubiquitous in the world around us—rubber, car tires, human and engineered ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides ... giving two forms: RNA and DNA. In 1943, American Oswald Avery proved that ...

As viral vaccines are increasingly used to meet global health needs, the pharmaceutical industry is manufacturing larger ...

and DNA. The direct outcome of the State University of New York initiative to provide a program in polymer research and education, is that many graduates of this program now have leading faculty ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Unlike in traditional mass cytometry, where the metal tag is bound directly to the antibody that will bind to the target, we added short DNA polymers to the ...

Besides the molecular weight of PEI, the mass ratio of polymer (in this case, PEI) to DNA is also known to change the size of the resulting particles. 24 The complexation kinetics were studied for ...
