We demonstrate that nucleic acid (NA) mononucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs and rNTPs), at sufficiently high concentration and low temperature in aqueous solution, can exhibit a phase transition in ...

Nucleic acids are essential for all forms of life, and it is found in all cells. Nucleic acids come in two natural forms called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Image Credit ...

Nucleic acids are made from just five different monomers, known as nucleotides; proteins are typically made from 20 different varieties of amino acid.

Co-polymerization of glycol nucleic acid monomers with dicarboxylic acids in simulated early Earth drying environments readily gives rise to plausible prebiotic xeno nucleic acid co-polymers ...

In their recent breakthrough published in Chemical Communications, the team explored alternating co-polymerization of glycol nucleic acid (GNA) monomers with substituted and unsubstituted dicarboxylic ...

Such a two-step assembly motif leads to stacking interactions sufficiently strong to give chromonic columnar LC ordering in aqueous solution of, for example, guanosine nucleotide monomers which H-bond ...
