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 ...

Sequence-directed variations in the canonical DNA double helix structure that retain Watson–Crick base-pairing have important roles in DNA recognition, topology and nucleosome positioning. By using ...

Three free radicals have been detected in single crystals of a molecular complex between 1-methylcytosine (1MeC) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) X-irradiated and observed by ESR at 77 K. One of these ...

The meeting will focus on pre- and post- transcriptional gene silencing using oligodeoxynucleotides, small interfering RNA, microRNA and other nucleic acid-based molecules to develop effective drugs.

Base pairs are at the heart of molecular biology information. Recognized ever since their discovery by Watson and Crick in 1953, the base pair provides, among other things, rules for copying DNA, ...

Named after the two-faced god, newly developed Janus nucleic acid recognition elements target double-stranded DNA or RNA by engaging both strands at once. When strung together within a single-stranded ...

The genome of every cell on Earth uses four DNA bases—adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine—to encode proteins. Chemists have long dreamed of expanding that set to create cells that work with both ...
