Not exact matches

According to one of his analogies: just as the sequence of letters on a page is extraneous to the chemistry of ink and paper, so the sequence of nucleic acids in the DNA molecule (which, when translated, determines the shape of an organism and its specific characteristics) is extraneous to the chemical forces operative in the genetic process.

Still is it not possible that the specific sequence of base - pairs in a DNA molecule is extraneous to the chemistry which bonds the nucleic acids to one another?

So we must ask whether chemistry (or any physical science) can specify the overall sequence of nucleic acids that determines the kinds and shapes of organisms existing in the biosphere.

So that has made us look again at the chemistry of replication and start to explore a wider range of nucleic acids.

Attendees at the astrobiology meeting in Arizona showcased an assortment of high - tech devices for next - generation exploration, ranging from microfluidic «life analyzers» and integrated nucleic acid extractors for studying «Martian metagenomics» to exquisitely sensitive, miniaturized organic chemistry labs for spotting tantalizing carbon compounds and minerals at microscopic scales.

He won two Nobel Prizes for chemistry, but we claim him for molecular biology because the methods he developed for sequencing proteins and nucleic acids provide the basis for much of what we do today.

Joint winner of the 1980 chemistry prize with Walter Gilbert for his «contributions concerning the determination of base sequences in nucleic acids» and winner of the 1958 chemistry prize «for his work on the structure of proteins, especially that of insulin.»

Winner of the 1982 chemistry prize «for his development of crystallographic electron microscopy and his structural elucidation of biologically important nucleic acid - protein complexes.»
