Details

Nucleic acid is a very important biological macromolecule in living organisms, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Properties of nucleic acids:

Composition: Nucleic acids consist of nucleotides, a nucleotide consisting of a substrate base, a sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), and phosphoric acid.

Genetic information storage: DNA is the main carrier of genetic information in the cell, can store the genetic information of the organism, and regulates the synthesis of proteins in the organism.

Transcription and translation: RNA plays an important role in the transcription of DNA templates and the translation process of protein synthesis.

Catalytic function: Some Rnas can undertake the function of catalyzing biochemical reactions, which is called enzyme RNA.

Nucleic acids have a wide range of applications and important scientific significance, some specific uses include:

Molecular genetics: Through the study of DNA and RNA, we can deeply understand the genetic laws, mutations and evolution of organisms.

Diagnosis and treatment: Nucleic acids can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, such as PCR for gene testing, RNA interference technology for gene therapy and so on.

Nucleic acid production mainly includes DNA and RNA extraction, synthesis and other methods.

When using nucleic acids in the laboratory, the following safety information should be noted:

High concentrations of nucleic acid solutions may be irritating and mutagenic, and direct contact with the skin and eyes should be strictly avoided. Wear protective gloves and goggles during laboratory operation.

Nucleic acids exist enzyme degradation, experimental operations should be carried out as far as possible in cold storage and low enzyme activity conditions, and use as soon as possible.

Possible contamination is related to the nature of the nucleic acid itself, such as redundancy or impurities in the DNA sequence, chemical residues, etc. The quality of relevant reagents and the experimental environment should be well controlled during the experimental operation.
