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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Saliva is a viable alternative source of nucleic acids. A new collection device offers stable and easy saliva collection for extracting both DNA and RNA from a single sample.

Whether one is elucidating biological mechanisms, correcting a faulty gene, or modulating gene expression, artificially introducing nucleic acids into cells requires an efficient and nontoxic delivery ...

The use of nucleic acid amplification tests of “minipools” of 16 samples to screen blood donors for West Nile virus RNA began in July 2003. We report the yield and characteristics of positive ...

Thanks to the novel Thermo Scientific™ Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence technology, the NanoDrop One delivers comprehensive sample quality information via the identification of common contaminants and the ...

The research focus of the Müller group is the bioinorganic chemistry of nucleic acids with a particular emphasis on the generation, characterization as well as application of nucleic acids including ...
