Two examples of nucleic acids include deoxyribonucleic acid (better known asDNA) and ribonucleic acid (better known asRNA). These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides held together by covalent bonds. Nucleic acids can be found within thenucleusandcytoplasmof ourcells. Nucleic Acid M...
Nucleic acid directed bioorthogonal reactions offer the fascinating opportunity to unveil and redirect a plethora of intracellular mechanisms. Nano‐ to picomolar amounts of specific RNA molecules serve as templates and catalyze the selective formation of molecules that 1)exert biological effects, or 2)...
A nucleic acid is a polynucleotide—a linear polymer of nucleotides that is defined by its three components (Figure 23-1): Sign in to download full-size image FIGURE 23-1. Structure of the nucleotide in DNA and RNA. The base adenine is used as an example. See Table 27-1 for a comple...
The steep rise in uptake on lowering the suspension pH also reflects the concomitant decrease in nucleic acid solubility and the associated reduction in molecular size. Reichmann et al. (1953), for example, found that the mean molecular radius of DNA at pH 2.6 was approximately half that at ...
答案 1. DNA polymerase only works in one direction, from 5' to 3', adding new nucleotides to the 3' OH end 2. Since the two parental strands are antiparallel, the leading strand is being synthesized continuously in the direction of the replication fork in 5' to 3' direction by DNA pol...
Nanostructures built from biomolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA are attracting attention in many areas of biological and materials sciences. Such nanoscale engineering was pioneered with proteins, yet the use of DNA is rapidly gaining traction. What
Nucleic acid sequence amplification methods Methods of synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence autocatalytically under conditions of substantially constant temperature, ionic strength, and pH are provided in which multiple RNA copies of the target sequence a...

Protein–RNA and protein–DNA complexes play critical roles in biology. Despite considerable recent advances in protein structure prediction, the prediction of the structures of protein–nucleic acid complexes without homology to known complexes is a largely unsolved problem. Here we extend the RoseTTAFo...
Nucleic acid detection is a key technique that enables the detection of specific nucleotide sequences and ultimately unveils the presence of a pathogen or early onset of a diseased state. From: Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science, 2021 ...
The main advantage of the qPCR method is the ability to assess the amount of the target DNA. The concentration of the unknown nucleic acid sample is determined by comparing a standard curve of known concentrations to the amplification plot of the sample. For example, the most common approa...
