  • Microarray Slides Nucleic Acid Is.
  • PNA or peptide nucleic acid is a DNA mimic with a pseudopeptide backbone.
  • A nucleic acid is a complex, high-molecular-weight biochemical macromolecule composed of nucleotide chains that convey genetic information.
  • What is this chemical group? I need to be able to illustrate clearly why NUCLEIC ACID is not the correct answer to this question but NUCLEOTIDE is.
  • It’s free! This means that if nucleic acid is required for microbial identification from an unknown mixture then only one extraction is required.
