A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living ...
Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are polymers of nucleotides – each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group and one of the nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids ...
Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
UC Davis researchers have developed a new method that uses light to transform amino acids—the building blocks of ...
A research team describes how they engineered an efficient new enzyme that can produce a synthetic genetic material called threose nucleic acid. The ability to synthesize artificial chains of TNA, ...
In the journal ‘Nature,’ Utah State University biochemists and colleagues report newly discovered details about Cas12a3 ...
Dealing with congested pores? Noticing an uneven skin tone? Or maybe your complexion has been looking a bit dull. According to dermatologists, incorporating alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) into your skin ...
