A cell’s hereditary material is comprised of nucleic acids, which allows living organisms to pass on the genetic information from one generation to next. The Nucleotides in both DNA and RNA are comprised up of a sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate molecule.

Nucleic acids are long chains of nucleotides joined together by phosphodiester bonds. Nucleic acids comprised of: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA and RNA having slight difference in their chemical composition, yet play importantly different biological roles.

This online meeting (webinar) will provide an excellent opportunity for science professionals with multidisciplinary backgrounds to review current developments, exchange ideas and challenges at the interface of physics, chemistry, and biology of nucleic acids and their therapeutics.
