Nucleic Acids These polymers appear to carry the pattern of living matter from one generation to the next. Their basic chain consists of sugars joined by phosphates.

Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of smaller, repeating units that are chemically connected to one another. DNA is composed of repeating units called nucelotides or ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

For liquid-liquid phase separation to occur in cells, the polymers that make up membraneless organelles—typically highly flexible proteins and nucleic acids—must exceed what is called their saturation ...

Cationic polymers, such as polyethylenimine (PEI) and poly(L-lysine) (PLL), can complex with negatively charged nucleic acids to form stable nanoparticles. These nanoparticles protect the genetic ...
