Nucleic acid memory

Nucleic acid memory.

Information and communication technologies generate vast amounts of data that will far eclipse today’s data flows (Fig. 1). Memory materials must therefore be suitable for high-volume manufacturing. At the same time, they must have elevated information stability and limit the energy consumption and trailing environmental impacts that such flows will demand. Analysts estimate that global memory ...

The Nucleic Acid Database: A resource for nucleic acid science.

The Nucleic Acid Database (NDB) distributes information about nucleic acid-containing structures. Here the information content of the database as well as the query capabilities are described. A summary of how the technology developed by this project has been used to develop other macromolecular databases is given.

Molecular Beacons of Xeno-Nucleic Acid for Detecting Nucleic Acid

Molecular beacons (MBs) of DNA and RNA have aroused increasing interest because they allow a continuous readout, excellent spatial and temporal resolution to observe in real time. This kind of dual-labeled oligonucleotide probes can differentiate between bound and unbound DNA/RNA in homogenous hybridization with a high signal-to-background ratio in living cells. This review briefly summarizes t...

Peptide nucleic acid microarrays.

A fast and economical procedure for the production of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) microarrays is presented. PNA oligomers are synthesized in a fully automatic manner in 96-well plates using standard Fmoc chemistry. Subsequently, the oligomers are released from the support and spotted onto glass or silicone slides, which were activated by succinimidyl ester. This process allows for a concomitant ...
