The variety of potentially useful dyes or haptenes available for fluorescent nucleic acid hybridization assays is far greater than what can be obtained from commercial sources 1,2. Since this ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

Peptides come and peptides go, sometimes too fast. These strings of amino acids—the building blocks of life—are of intense ...

Professor Pinaki Talukdar was awarded the C N R Rao National Prize, while Prof K N Ganesh, IISER Pune founder director and ...

The global demand for digital data is projected to be greater than the supply of semiconductor grade silicon in 2040 [1]. When combined with the need to archive information [2], nucleic acids are ...

However, for the delivery of polar peptide nucleic acids or other highly specific inhibitors of particular pathways in cancer cells, neither of which are associated with toxicity in normal cells, the ...

The specific binding ability and biostability of PNA (peptide nucleic acid) with DNA or RNA make PNA not only a good tool for the studies of molecular biology but also the candidate for gene-targeting ...

Peptides are like messengers, and when applied topically, they signal the skin to do things like produce more collagen and relax wrinkles. These already exist in skin, but as we age, collagen ...

Pseudoisocytosine (J), a neutral analogue of protonated cytosine, is currently the gold standard modified nucleobase in peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) for the formation of J·G-C triplets that are stable ...

These investigators report a novel method of engineering a highly effective collagen-cell scaffold based on arginine–glycine–aspartic acid–serine peptides cross-linked to a clinically ...

Initially used as feed attractants, nucleotides (NT) and nucleic acids (NA) drew the attention of research and industrial communities as functional ingredients on account of their many features as ...
