These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR ...

Nucleotides are the building blocks of the two nucleic acids, ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As such, they are also the building blocks of you and every other lifeform on ...

Advanced smart nanoparticles enhance the delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics to cancer cells, addressing many of the barriers that have hindered their clinical applications, according to a review ...

The chemical origin of life on Earth is a puzzle that scientists have been trying to piece together for decades. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain how life came to be and what chemical and ...

Scientists developed a new nanostructure that triples CRISPR’s ability to enter cells, unlocking even more power to treat ...

Drug regulatory authorities in various countries have established stringent limits on the residual nucleic acids in biological products. For example, the FDA mandates that the residual DNA in ...

Interactions with TBRU In 2008, TBTC and TBRU investigators joined together on TBTC Study NAA2M, a collaborative, co-funded study by CDC-TBTC and NIH-TBRU. This study evaluates routine microbiological ...
