Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

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?

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 ...

A nucleic acid is a long molecule made up of smaller molecules called nucleotides. Nucleic acids were discovered in 1868, when twenty-four-year-old Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher isolated a ...

Nucleic Acids and Proteins 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 ...

This research topic focuses on the exploration and analysis of alternative nucleic acid structures within microbial systems, highlighting their importance ...

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 ...

Nucleic acid therapeutics are based on nucleic acids or closely related chemical compounds. They include antisense oligonucleotides, aptamers and small interfering RNAs, and are typically ...
