Nucleic Acid Research

Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new set of chemical reactions that can produce the building blocks of life. They have found a set of chemical reactions that can produce amino acids and nucleic acids — the building blocks of proteins and DNA — by using cyanide, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.

The scientists have also studied the fixation of these intra-host variations into extra-host variations and mutations that lead to variants. The results of the two-phase study have been published in the journal "Nucleic Acid Research".

Har Gobind Khorana was an Indian American biochemist who shared the 1968 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley for research that showed how the order of nucleotides in nucleic acids, which carry the genetic code of the cell, control the cell's synthesis of proteins. Dr Khorana and Dr Nirenberg were ...

Scientists have revolutionised the world's largest database for cancer drug discovery by adding 3D structures of faulty proteins and maps of cancer's communication networks, paving the way for more effective treatments

Standard HIV tests can't identify people very recently infected with the virus, but a more sensitive test can, new research shows.
