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 ...

A novel method for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has been developed by researchers from Xuchang University (Xuchang, China). The method could be used for detection of pathogens. A novel ...

Xeno nucleic acids are essential for the development of nucleic acid-based drugs. To be effective, they need to be able to stably bind to natural RNA (a cellular single-stranded version of the DNA, ...
