DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit ... to form the iconic double helix structure. RNA is usually single-stranded but can form complex secondary structures through ...

As early as 1943 Oswald Avery proved what had been suspected: that DNA, a nucleic acid, carries genetic information ... a shadow picture of the molecule's structure, by how the X-rays bounced ...

Nucleic acids are named for where they're found ... DNA and RNA use the same five-carbon sugar, ribose, in their structure. The deoxy- means that on one side of the base pair, there's a place ...

A researcher in Purdue University's College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based ...

This schematic shows the secondary structure of two aptamers. The complex shapes formed by base pairing (black lines connecting G-C and A-T bases) allow aptamers to bind their targets with high ...
