Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. The structure and chemistry of nucleic acids is ...

The resulting RNA molecule, typically mRNA, carries the genetic message from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Nucleic acids are the foundation of genetic engineering techniques, ...

not nucleic acid, but by the late 1940s, DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule. Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand how it worked.

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA ... that DNA, a nucleic acid, carries genetic information. But no one knew how ...

This schematic shows the secondary structure of two aptamers ... The image also highlights chemical modifications (yellow) that increase durability, and biotin molecules that help anchor the aptamers ...

Punishing conditions in the clouds of Venus could be home to a DNA-like molecule capable of forming genes in life very ...

A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

The group was formed in 2003, having previously been a special interest group (The Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology Group) of both the RSC and the Biochemical Society. The purpose of the group is ...
