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 ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

A novel method for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has been developed by researchers from Xuchang University (Xuchang, China). The method could be used for detection of pathogens. A novel ...

What is chemical biology, and how does it differ from biochemistry? Chemical biology deals with how chemistry can be applied to solve biological problems while biochemistry is the study of the ...

Xeno nucleic acids are essential for the development of nucleic acid-based drugs. To be effective, they need to be able to stably bind to natural RNA (a cellular single-stranded version of the DNA, ...

Thermo Scientific’s novel Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence technology is at the core of the NanoDrop One instrument, enabling the provision of comprehensive sample quality information by identifying ...
