Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...

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 ...

What are spherical nucleic acids (SNAs)? What do they consist of and how do they differ from linear nucleic acids? Spherical nucleic acids are structures that are made by taking a nanoparticle ...

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 ...

Nucleic acid extraction is a fundamental step in unlocking the genetic information contained within biological samples. Isolated nucleic acids are the basis for a multitude of analyses and ...

Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. The structure and chemistry of nucleic acids is ...

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 ...

Some biologists have long hoped that small pieces of RNA that silence genes could help wipe out genetic diseases. But developing nucleic acid medications with good drug properties, such as selectivity ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

The research focus of the Müller group is the bioinorganic chemistry of nucleic acids with a particular emphasis on the generation, characterization as well as application of nucleic acids including ...
