The discovery of ArcS, which can utilize a nucleoside as a minimum substrate, provides new insights into the synthesis of precursor molecules for these modified nucleosides. The results of this ...
A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...
Nucleic acid synthesis underpins life’s vital processes, from replication and transcription to the regulation of gene expression, while polymerase enzymology explores the molecular mechanisms by which ...
From synthetic biology and gene therapy to data storage and biofuel production, the demand for synthetic DNA is rising. (1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich ...
A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleotide triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), was ...
The biosecurity risks associated with an unregulated industry became evident when, in 2006, a Guardian reporter successfully ordered parts of the smallpox genome through the mail. Although ordering ...
