The intracellular environment is highly compartmentalized; biomolecules (nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and so on) are spatiotemporally organized to form functional modules, signal pathways and ...

Dr. Chad Mirkin, Director of International Institute for Nanotechnology talks to News-Medical Life Science about the use of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) in vaccinations and treatments for disease, ...

Endosomal and cytosolic nucleic acid receptors sense microbial nucleic acids and initiate innate immune responses. However, in some circumstances their activation by endogenous nucleic acids can also ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Guanine quadruplexes (G-quadruplexes or G4s) are unusual nucleic acid structures with distinct biological and chemical functions. They have occupied significant attention in the nucleic acid world ...

Proteins are made of amino acid chains, or polypeptides. Amino acids have a basic backbone made of an amino group and a carboxyl group, and differ in their side-chains. These polypeptide chains of ...
