Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids are molecules composed of nucleotide building blocks that form part of the genetic code of living organisms. They are essential for many biological processes including DNA replication and transcription, the transmission of genetic information to new cells and the regulation of gene expression. Nucleic acids are also important for their ability to act as markers for diagnostics and in the development of drugs and vaccines. They are versatile molecules that are found in different forms and can be used in various fields of research, from bioinformatics to drug discovery.
