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 ...
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 ...
