A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

The quantification of nucleic acids was historically performed via ... other common contaminants can also affect this ratio, for example, common salt buffers, guanidine salts and polysaccharides.

For example, enzymes build RNA ... Many other enzymes are known to selectively cut or join nucleic acids or proteins, and still others catalyse chemical reactions with great speed and accuracy.

Hence, the resulting products provided clues that the researchers could use to deduce potential codon–amino acid relationships. For example, when A and C were mixed with polynucleotide ...

Personnel Training – All personnel working with recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids and/or biohazardous agents must ... changes in the biosafety protocol to the IBC through PERA. Examples of ...

The flow of genetic information underpins all of biology and relies heavily on nucleic acids. Our research delves into how genetic information is maintained in the cell, and the complex pathways that ...

A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all ...

The nucleic acid molecules inherited by the living cell bear the plan of all the cell's protein molecules. It now appears that another kind of nucleic acid plays a key role in translating the plan ...

The Nucleic Acids Institute is dedicated to understanding the chemical and biological basis for nucleic acid function, and to developing new and powerful nucleic acids based therapeutic and ...

The group was formed in 2003, having previously been a special interest group (The Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology Group) of both the RSC and the Biochemical Society. The purpose of the group is ...
