When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit ...

Nucleic acids are the molecules that contain genetic information and play a vital role in the functioning and development of living organisms.

Nucleic acid detection is the primary method for identifying pathogens that cause infectious diseases. As millions of PCR tests were run worldwide every day during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is ...

A surprising new University of Colorado Boulder study shows that huge amounts of fatty acids circulating in the bloodstreams of feeding pythons promote healthy heart growth, results that may have ...

Biomedical researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new, less expensive way to detect nuclease digestion – one of the critical steps in many nucleic acid sensing ...

Spherical nucleic acids set stage for new paradigm in drug development Date: March 16, 2015 Source: Northwestern University Summary: Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) can be used as potent drugs to ...

“It’s combining two distinct fields, peptides and nucleic acids,” says Dan Appella, a chemist at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

A new isothermal amplification method has been developed for faster detection of nucleic acids, such as SARS-CoV-2 RNA.

Further research is underway to explore broader applications of this technology. A study published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology shows that a low-cost tool, called Subak, is effective at ...
