THIN-LAYER chromatography on cellulose layers has been shown to be an effective method for separation and quantitative determination of nucleic acid bases, nucleosides and nucleotides 1–5 which has ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases. (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The most common type of base pairing is the Watson-Crick base ...

Structural comparison of DNA and the artificial TNA, a Xeno nucleic acid with the natural base pairs AT and GC and an additional base pair (XY). The DNA carries the genetic information of all living ...

The primary bottleneck in this procedure is the inability to culture forensically relevant pathogens under laboratory conditions; moreover, nucleic acids may be low quality or damaged, rendering them ...

Nucleic acids are long chains of nucleotides found in all living organisms. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are two common nucleic acids responsible for providing genetic ...

When the structure of DNA was first discovered in 1953, it was determined that DNA was comprised of four nucleotides: A, T, C, and G (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). And for over sixty years ...

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 ...

Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...
