Biochemical and structural analyses reveal direct ubiquitin modification of single-stranded nucleic acids, catalysed by the DTX3L ubiquitin ligase.

Given the similarity between ADPr and nucleic acids, which are composed of the same constituents: nucleobases (adenine), ribose sugars and phosphates, we became intrigued by the possibility of nucleic ...

A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells.

When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to findings published in PLOS ONE ...

A Purdue University researcher is developing a technology that mimics viruses to deliver nucleic acid-based therapies to targeted cancer cells.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious and common complication of cardiac surgery, for which reduced kidney perfusion is a key contributing factor. Intravenous amino acids increase kidney perfusion ...
