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 ...

Medical molecular engineering harnesses cutting‐edge techniques to design, modify and integrate nucleic acids and proteins for advanced diagnostics and therapeutics. By applying principles from ...

Nucleic acids are essential for the functioning and development of living organisms. DNA carries genetic information that determines traits such as eye color and susceptibility to diseases in humans, ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

DNA hybridization thermodynamics is critical for accurate design of oligonucleotides for biotechnology and nanotechnology applications, but parameters currently in use are inaccurately extrapolated ...

Some biologists have long hoped that small pieces of RNA that silence genes could help wipe out genetic diseases. But developing nucleic acid medications with good drug properties, such as selectivity ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

Quantification of nucleic acid concentrations is often performed by measuring light absorption in UV-VIS spectrometers. There are a few challenges faced in this measurement method. In UV-VIS ...
