Linked from

The 30 pages that link to Nucleic acid, each with the reason it gives.

• Amino acidCompared with: Nucleic acids encode protein sequences, whereas amino acids form the resulting protein chains.

• NucleotideNarrower topic: Nucleotides are its individual building blocks rather than the completed genetic polymer.

• RNANarrower topic: RNA belongs to this molecular family alongside DNA.

• Origin of lifeNarrower topic: Nucleic acids provide the inheritance framework that many proposed origins must account for.

• AbiogenesisRelated: Information-bearing polymers are candidates for the heredity required by evolving life.

• BiochemistryRelated: Their chemistry underlies the storage and expression of biological information.

• NucleobaseNarrower topic: Nucleobases form the sequence-bearing components of nucleic acids.

• PhosphorusRelated: Phosphate groups link nucleotides into DNA and RNA backbones.

• NucleosideNarrower topic: Nucleosides provide the base-and-sugar units that become part of nucleic-acid chains.

• Dehydration reactionNarrower topic: Phosphodiester linkages in nucleic acids are formed through reactions that eliminate water or an activated leaving group.

• LipidCompared with: Nucleic acids are water-compatible information polymers rather than hydrophobic molecules.

• Purine metabolismNarrower topic: Purine nucleotides supply adenine and guanine residues for DNA and RNA.

• RNA polymeraseNarrower topic: RNA polymerase acts on nucleic acid templates and creates a nucleic acid product.

• Nucleic acid amplification testNarrower topic: These tests measure DNA or RNA from a pathogen or other source.

• AzathioprineRelated: Purine nucleotides are building blocks of nucleic acids, whose production thiopurines disrupt.

• DeoxyriboseNarrower topic: Deoxyribose distinguishes the sugar framework of DNA within this broader class.

• Lipid nanoparticleNarrower topic: It is a common cargo that the particle protects and delivers.

• Molecular diagnosticsNarrower topic: DNA and RNA are the direct targets of molecular diagnostic assays.

• Agarose gel electrophoresisNarrower topic: This broader molecular family defines the usual targets of agarose gel electrophoresis.

• UracilNarrower topic: Uracil's biological significance emerged through the study of nucleic acids.

• BiomoleculeBroader topic: DNA and RNA are biomolecules assembled from nucleotide building blocks.

• CytidineNarrower topic: Cytidine is one molecular unit in the nucleotide polymers that make up RNA.

• Stanley B. PrusinerCompared with: The absence of a required nucleic-acid genome distinguished Prusiner’s prion model from conventional infection.

• Albrecht KosselNarrower topic: Kossel’s work clarified the chemical composition of the substance later recognized as DNA and RNA.

• Gel electrophoresisNarrower topic: Nucleic acids are common analytes because their phosphate backbones carry negative charge.

• History of biochemistryNarrower topic: Research on nucleic acids brought heredity within the scope of chemical structure and reactions.

• Polymer backboneRelated: Its sugar-phosphate backbone supports the sequence of attached nucleobases.

• Biomolecular & subcellular processesNarrower topic: Nucleic acids provide templates and regulators for cellular molecular activity.

• Macromolecule (biochemistry)Broader topic: DNA and RNA are macromolecules central to heredity and gene expression.

• NucleofectionRelated: DNA and RNA are the cargo molecules that nucleofection delivers.
