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 ...

Nucleic acid synthesis underpins life’s vital processes, from replication and transcription to the regulation of gene expression, while polymerase enzymology explores the molecular mechanisms by which ...

Researchers from TU Graz and acib succeed in the first enzyme-driven biocatalytic synthesis of nucleic acid building blocks. This facilitates the development of antiviral agents and RNA-based ...

The biosecurity risks associated with an unregulated industry became evident when, in 2006, a Guardian reporter successfully ordered parts of the smallpox genome through the mail. Although ordering ...

Nucleic acids are long chains of nucleotides found in all living organisms. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are two common nucleic acids responsible for providing genetic ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...
