As a molecular biologist, I always enjoy reading articles concerning DNA and RNA. Your excellent article in the April 3, 2023, issue of C&EN (page 18) titled “The Promise of Peptide Nucleic Acids” ...

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are synthetic analogues of natural nucleic acids, distinguished by a peptide‐like backbone that confers unique binding affinities and high stability against enzymatic ...

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 ...

The pharmaceutical industry is equipping itself to target genetic defects directly. The pioneer generation of genetic medicines demonstrated the viability of the approach, but their applicability was ...

Epidemiologic characteristics of colon cancer in Asian Indian and Pakistani population living in the USA compared to US White population in SEER database from 1988 to 2002 No significant financial ...

According to a new concept, it was a novel molecular species composed out of RNA and peptides that set in motion the evolution of life into more complex forms. According to a new concept by LMU ...

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) represent a revolutionary class of synthetic nucleic acid analogues, in which the traditional sugar–phosphate backbone is replaced by a neutral N-(2-aminoethyl) glycine ...
