The intracellular environment is highly compartmentalized; biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and so on) are spatiotemporally organized to form functional modules, signal pathways and ...

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) represent a revolutionary class of synthetic nucleic acid analogues, in which the traditional sugar–phosphate backbone is replaced by a neutral N-(2-aminoethyl) glycine ...

Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...

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 ...

What are spherical nucleic acids (SNAs)? What do they consist of and how do they differ from linear nucleic acids? Spherical nucleic acids are structures that are made by taking a nanoparticle ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
