Nucleic acids have become medical modalities. We have recently witnessed the admission of antisense oligonucleotides to cure genetic diseases and the rapid development of mRNA vaccines against ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

Different types of nucleic acids—such as messenger RNA, small interfering RNA, micro RNA, aptamer, and plasmid—can be used to modulate antitumor immunity.

Nucleic acids were first identified in the 19 th century, but their composition, biological role and function were not understood by scientists until the 20 th century.

“Our research provides a new perspective on the physiological functions of nucleic acids derived from food,” Professor Kojima-Yuasa explained. “We hold hope that this will be a crucial step ...

Our research provides a new perspective on the physiological functions of nucleic acids derived from food. We hold hope that this will be a crucial step toward cancer prevention." ...

Harnessing the interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins holds much promise for detecting biomarkers, diagnosing disease, and improving cancer-targeting therapeutics. Quantifying these ...

Guanine (G) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, along with along with adenine (A), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). It is a purine base, meaning it has a ...

Historical Background Cytosine was first discovered in 1894 by Albrecht Kossel, a German biochemist. Kossel isolated cytosine from calf thymus tissues and found that it was a component of nucleic ...
