Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit ... to form the iconic double helix structure. RNA is usually single-stranded but can form complex secondary structures through ...

not nucleic acid, but by the late 1940s, DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule. Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand how it worked.

The Purdue University Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) reviews research protocols involving the use of recombinant DNA (rDNA), synthetic nucleic acids, and/or biohazardous ... The functions and ...

X-ray crystallography is not limited by the size or nature of the specimen, making it possible to determine the three-dimensional structure of nucleic acids and other small macromolecules to ...

Understanding the self-assembly of nucleic acids containing repetitive guanine segments, specifically G-quadruplexes (GQs), remains a significant frontier. These structures exhibit diverse ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...

This schematic shows the secondary structure of two aptamers. The complex shapes formed by base pairing (black lines connecting G-C and A-T bases) allow aptamers to bind their targets with high ...
