Natural and engineered nucleic acids as tools to explore biology
Article Abstract:
The mature nucleic acid technologies using antisense RNA and DNAs are used to reveal the function of certain proteins by inhibiting gene expression. Molecular engineers are beginning to harness the power of nucleic acids that form more complex three-dimensional structures and apply them as tools for exploring biological systems and as therapeutics.
