Pentose sugars form part of the backbone of DNA and RNA strands, the sides of the ladder, to go back to the analogy from earlier. All of the nucleotide bases in nucleic acids are bound to the ...

We and others have recently developed DNA assembly methods, which we refer to collectively as unique nucleotide sequence (UNS)–guided assembly, in which individual DNA parts are flanked with ...

which are found as part of cytoplasmic domains in the ClC family of chloride channels and transporters, have previously been identified as building blocks for regulatory nucleotide-binding sites.
