The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality ...

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 ...

"But if we had shown that this backbone was compromised, then there would be no chance of life as we know it." "Now, with the ...

Nucleic acids are the backbone of molecular biology research. As such, preservation of their integrity and purity is fundamental for genomic research. Low quality samples can lead to inconsistent ...

For instance, in a 1971 essay on the history of nucleic acid research ... discovery of the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule was still years away. The large number of molecular groups ...

This novel technology uses phosphono-peptide nucleic acids (pPNA). These molecules are similar to DNA except A, T, G, or C bases are covalently attached to an N-(2-aminoethyl) glycine backbone. 1 ...
