...Franklin returned from Paris to study nucleic acids at King's College in London, where she produced the clearest X-ray images of crystallized DNA that anyone had ever obtained. She discovered and photographed the hydrated B form of DNA, and she established, crucially, that DNA's structure depended on an external backbone, with the bases on the inside. But here the stories diverge. According to The Double Helix, Franklin was unable to interpret her images properly and was unwilling to share them with others, to a point where Watson and Crick were forced to go around...
Another technology would improve the specificity of the Nucleic Acid Test, the most sensitive test for HIV, he said...
...Swedish biotech firm has signed an exclusive agreement with Harvard Medical School (HMS) that provides the firm broad access to nucleic acid technology developed...
...electricity along with the priming dose of viral DNA; that shock seems to enhance the DNA's ability to trigger a response. And they are even experimenting with firing the DNA directly into immune-system cells at high pressure with so-called gene guns to make sure the nucleic acids have maximum impact...
Bustamante had refined his techniques sufficiently by 1997 to grasp a single protein and, applying forces only a trillionth as strong as those the earth exerts on an apple, pull it apart like molecular Velcro. Why bother? To study how proteins and nucleic acids fold into their complex structures. That's a matter of considerable interest to drug designers, who tailor molecules to monkey-wrench the proteins that make us sick...
