WE wish to suggest a structure ... of deoxyribose nucleic acid. This structure has two helical chains each coiled round the same axis (see diagram). We have made the usual chemical assumptions ...

The structure and chemistry of nucleic acids is fundamental to their function, from the DNA double helix discovered by Watson and Crick to the intricate secondary and tertiary structures adopted by ...

Nucleic acid unwinding is an essential step in many biomolecular processes. Researchers in this field recently met to examine progress and outstanding issues. Helicases are molecular motors that ...

In DNA, two complementary strands of nucleotides pair up through hydrogen bonds between the bases (A with T and G with C) to form the iconic double helix structure ... The resulting RNA molecule, ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that ... that DNA, a nucleic acid, carries genetic information.

This schematic shows the secondary structure of two aptamers. The complex shapes formed by base pairing (black ... Unlike antibodies, aptamers' unique structures include hairpin regions (red), which ...

The interest groups are member driven groups that exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter. The group was formed in 2003, ...
