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 ...

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 ...

Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. The structure and chemistry of nucleic acids is ...

From the food you eat to the way your cells function, biomolecules are at the heart of it all. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids each play unique roles in energy, structure, and ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Nature encodes nucleic acids to assemble enormously complex and highly functional materials that form the foundation of life. To establish a similar code to construct synthetic, unnatural materials ...

To elicit protective adaptive immune responses, vaccines must efficiently trigger the innate immune system. It is becoming increasingly apparent that microbial and host nucleic acids serve as ...

Whether one is elucidating biological mechanisms, correcting a faulty gene, or modulating gene expression, artificially introducing nucleic acids into cells requires an efficient and nontoxic delivery ...

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 ...
